More TrueMobile 1300

[Jacob S. Barrett]

I have a TrueMobile 1300 PCMCIA card.  I have compiled and successfully loaded 
the NDIS drivers (5-Current as of 8pm last night).  The card is detected on 
insert.  Despite all this, all I can seem to do with it is turn the power led 
on and off (ifconfig up/down).  The wicontrol -l command lists the AP in my 
network.  If I configure the interface with the SSID and keys it will never 
associate.  I know a few people have said they have it working, so I am 
wondering what I am doing wrong.  Can anyone make sense of the mess below?

Is it normal for the PCMCIA card to show "Mini-PCI" on insert.  Is this 
because the drivers are the same for both cards?
