SpeedStream 1021 working ...

I did read the manual and found the /etc/pccard.conf reference. I've
tried
several combinations and I couldn't get it to work. At the end of the
email
you'll see the dmesg output for the card with the latest 5.1 release.
Compare 
it with my original email and see the difference ;)

I normally would agree with you, but I didn't take this step out of
laziness.
I did read the manual, Googled around for people with similar problems
and 
so forth. And still, not working. So I take this comment to be a
constructive
note, more than easy criticism.

OK, you are right that I didn't mention about the binaries. But who
would forget
to compile and install those when he/she reads the manual?

Kind regards,
Manfred.
