Thinkpad 760el Gigafast WF721-AEX Wireless adapter problems

Hi,

I decided to get back to working on this problem with the Rtl8139 based pcmcia adapters with my IBM 760el laptops.

Sometime ago I was able to get the DFE-690TXD working with the 760EL with some help from DHinds and Jim.

I would like to be able to use these cards with the 760el for a remote controller system.

I've tried the DLINK DWL-650 but I couldn't get it to be recognized at all. The Gigafast WF721-AEX at least is being recognized.

The dummy device is loaded but when I try a; #modprobe 8139too

I get errors.

I have included information that I think is relevant.

Regards and God speed, Gary
