     With the card inserted you can also try:

     sudo cardctl ident

     or su to root (su -) and try the same command.  I had a similar
     problem
     with earlier FC4 kernels (no PCMCIA support for my chipset) so be
     sure
     you are running the most recent kernel.  If FC4 still doesn't identify
     the card, it's possible that your PCMCIA controller isn't supported.
     The card may not be either but "cardctl ident" should tell you
     something

     I got "Socket 0: no product info available" so FC4 doesn't 
 identify the card.
     Which kernel version did you use?

     -Min
 !DSPAM:438abc93295674065619034! 

# uname -a
Linux fubar.local.davenjudy.org 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 #1 Wed Nov 9 19:01:56 
EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

You should be able to get the latest kernel by just doing "yum update" 
as long as you have another way to get on-line with the system (wire, 
built-in wireless and ndiswrapper).  If not, you may want to look into 
pulling down the iso images for one of the unofficial FC4 updates that 
are available.
