If you run '/sbin/lsmod | grep airo', what do you get?

$$sripathy$$:

The card is listed through that command. Its not used by any one though. 

I did an update from yum to kernel version 2.6.19.x. I see that there is a eth1 directory in "/proc/driver/aironet". The firmware version from the "Status" is 5.60.21. 

I have a Cisco 350 series wireless LAN  Adapter. Does airo driver work with this card? I saw a few mpi350 specific drivers. Do we need to use them.

Thank for your help with this.
