How about when someone has a non-Hermes card, or rather a card that NS/MS does NOT support, for example by reading something on the card that is known...

So instead of having he message "wireless card not found", to have "Card Inserted is NOT Supported" or something similiar... or "Card Not Supported RTFM" ;)

Good idea.

Playing devil's advocate, it might not be possible in exactly that way: The return from the driver fuctions may only be a 0 or a 1. If the card isn't present or is a Prism it may be 0, Hermes returns 1. So it may not be possible to tell there is a "bad" card, rather then no card.

Just a thought. Marius would obviously know.
