PB 1400C, Netgear MA401 wireless

My Mac does not even want to load the card. It works fine with an older Global Village K56 flex card. I also tried to remove extensions and preferences for the GV card but it did not work. When I run Tupledumper from Apple I get the following message:
The application 'TupleDumper' could not be opened because 'PCCard' could not be found.

Two more pieces of information:
In a few days will upgrade the 1400C using a Sonnet G3 333MHz card.
I was looking at the Apple PC Card Manager SDK and it shows that for the PB1400 the developers should use Manager 2.0 and anything with a PCI architecture (above 1400) should use Manager 3.0.
Do you know if the upgrade could solve the problems?
Thanks again

Here's the first thing you should be telling us - is the card Mac compatible?

I just discovered that only the Proxim Skyline 802.11b Wireless PC Card is compatible with the PB1400C (from MacFixIt forum). The software for the card needs to be written with a non PPC enabler (Card manager 2.0 see Apple site). The IOxperts use Manager 3.0 that is good for anything after PB1400. I DID NOT pay for the drivers because the company allows for a 30 days trial period. However, they are so good that their tech support wrote to me within 24 hrs with an explanation of why the card would not work. Thanks for the feedback.
