The first issue is that in order to get the Intel card to work, you must
first download the 11 mbit driver. This driver works with the Symbol, 3com
and Intel 11mbit cards. I believe (you may have to test this for me) that
the Intel card works out of the box. If this isn't correct, you have to
create an entry for it in the /etc/pcmcia/config (much like you attempted
to do already.) The major differences are that the 'version line should
match the message that you got in the syslog, so it would look something
like this:

card "Intel 11 mbit card"
version "Intel", "PRO/Wireless 2011 LAN PC Card", "1.00"
bind "Spectrum24t"

NOTE: the card line is just a label. It is for your reference only and as
such can be anything that makes since to you. The version number is
important, becuase this is what the package uses to do the card to driver
mapping. The manfid line is optional (put it in if you know the
information and feel the need to differentiate.) The bind line should
match the name that you use for the driver (this bind line matches the
name that the 11mbit DS package adds to the /etc/pcmcia/config file.)

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
