What model card, specifically?

Cardbus cards are not managed by the kernel PCMCIA subsystem. Some of
their setup is done by the PCMCIA subsystem, but then they are handed
off to the hotplug system.

Err not exactly. The PCMCIA subsystem is needed to handle setup of
the CardBus bridge device. The hotplug subsystem is a separate and
independent part of the kernel, and generates hotplug events. Both
are needed for a Cardbus card to be set up properly.

Most wireless drivers call their devices ETHx too. The "ifup" will be
for whatever the device is actually named.
Perhaps you should describe your problem more specifically (i.e., show
all relevant system log messages), then we can decide if this is the
appropriate forum for your question.
