I have this very generic wireless PCI card. I couldn't even find the
name of the manufacturer on it. So I used the FCC ID to track it down
as an ADMtek wireless card. I'm pretty sure it's compatible with the
ADM11 standard, but i'm not sure.

So I downloaded a driver from www.ADMtek.com, compiled it, etc., and
it gave me this file called 8211.o, and assured me that it was the
module I needed to load for the PCI card.

I type insmod 8211.o, and it tells me
"
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device . Please try using
pci=biosirq. : I/O region (0x0@0x0) too small, aborting
8211.o: init_module: No such device
"
I dont know how to try pci=biosirq.
Beyond that, I'm completely lost. Does anyone have any experience with
Debian and this card, or setting up wireless cards like this?
Thanks,
Uri
