no more wireless

[Kenzo]

No the card doesn't appear in dmesg.
I tried other wireless cards and an old pcmcia modem and nothing.
I just get the prompt "card inserted" "card removed". that's it.
Could my laptop be going bad?
If so, how come it works on the windows side.
the same card works perfectly on windows.

any other ideas?
