The card works fine with the Dell and Windows98se but does not seem to work with Damn Small Linux v. 3.0.1 nor Kubuntu 6.06.

I'm using the MADWifi module Tony mentioned. It is as Tony said a 32 bit Cardbus card, so if your Toshie doesn't have 32 bit Cardbus capability I'm afraid you're out of luck. However, some laptops (such as my Compaq Presario R3307EA have a PCMCIA Controller that Linux does not like to play with. If that is the case with your laptop it is possibly still doable with a little bit of fiddling. Best thing I can suggest to diagnose it is to insert the card into the laptop and then try 'lspci -v' (-v = verbose - gives a bit more info). It should be possible then to see if the laptop is actually detecting the hardware at all, and what PCMCIA controller it has onboard.
