D-Link DWL-650

I just purchased a DWL-650 for my laptop after seeing it listed under i386 supported wireless cards.
I can't seem to get it working. When I boot up with the card plugged in it doesn't detect the card. (Dmesg below)
(I also get nothing when I plug in/out the card)
No lights come on when the card is plugged in however no lights come on when this card is put in my other laptop (Windows98) Until the driver is loaded.
(This card works fine in the Windows machine)

  • wi is enabled in my kernel
  • I know this is a cardbus card and my laptop is OLD (486) but my laptop's manual says: PCMCIA SLOTS: Two standard peripheral interface slots.
  • Output Voltage - 5 volts,650mA or 3.3 volts, 400mA
  • Capacity - 2 Type II cards or 1 Type III card

What could be wrong here? Is it just that this card is not compatible with my laptop?

    Thanks! - Will

(if it matters I disabled apm due to scrolling errors)
