The Linksys WMP11 is a PCI (actually, mini-PCI) card that doesn't
need any of the PCMCIA stuff.

If anyone cares:
init_module: prism2_pci.o: 0.1.13-devel1 Loaded
init_module: dev_info is: prism2_pci
A Prism2.5 PCI device found, phymem:0x40080000, irq:11

In case you couldn't tell, it's actually a prism2.5.
