>>run "cardctl ident", and it'll provide some descriptive info for each

Ok, i ran that and got the following:
[root at localhost pcmcia]# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  no product info available
[root at localhost pcmcia]# dump_cis
Socket 0:
  no CIS present

So i was wondering if i put my NIC information into the wrong file.  here is
my wireless.opts file
[root at localhost pcmcia]# more wireless.opts
case "$ADDRESS" in

# Pick up any Access Point, should work on most 802.11 cards

    ;;


Is this correct?  If not what am i doing wrong?
