Hi Josh, Welcome to the LUG :) A quick read around seems to indicate that the airo_cs is only part of the system you need. There should also be something like airo itself. The _cs part is the "card services" part, which needs loading after the airo driver. I only found info on the older airo.o (2.4 kernel driver). However, the Ubuntu wiki mentions Aironet 350 series using airo and airo_cs pcmcia cards. I think it will be a case of logically working through the issue. Are you using encryption on the wireless? Just wondering if that is causing it to fail after a few seconds. It may be worth turning it off for testing and see what happens. By modprobe airo_cs does nothing - do you mean it returns you to the prompt? That means it has loaded the driver - you can check with lsmod. It is possible Ubuntu loads the relevant drivers anyway - I haven't got that card so I don't know. lsmod would show you if it was there though.
