configure wireless PCMCIA card Mandrake 10.1

I am trying to configure the following PCMCIA Card:

 

3Com 3RWE737A Airconnect wireless Lan PC card

 

with a Dell CPx laptop under Mandrake 10.1

 

In KDE, when I go to the configuration menu and try to set up a "wireless" connection type I then see a list of devices but there is not the card I mention above.

 

Is there any way of getting the wireless card autodetected or else where can I find the driver and load it?

 

How can I know if it is up and running?

 

Thank you very much

 

Ignacio

I had the same problem w/my Linksys WPC11 Ver. 4 card. When I would do cardctl, it would show no product info in both sockets. However, in Harddrake, the card would show up. I used ndsiwrapper & the Win XP driver to get the card working, below is the link. It may help...

also if you decide to use ndiswrapper, this link is helpful
