Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pcmciautils

As I can see the old pcmcia programs package was removed and pcmciautils
were added. Problem is that pccardctl shows that card is inserted for
16bit (oldschool pcmcia) cards, but no entry appears in
iwconfig/ifconfig for a wireless card. Newer 32bit (cardbus) cards work
fine. This is very important for previous generation laptop users. For
example good old Lucent's Orinoco cards are 16bit and many people I
know, use these cards on their older laptops (IBM T20 series for
example) with Ubuntu. Thank you!

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
