The output of "cardctl ident" from the current Woody installation is:

Socket 0:
product info: "The Linksys Group, Inc.", "Instant Wireless Network PC 
Card", "ISL37300P", "RevA"
manfid: 0x0274, 0x1613
function: 6 (network)

I found in bug #250596, the person had to eject and reinsert his 
wireless card for it to be detected. I tried this and it worked. Is the 
system supposed to be able to detect the card without needing to 
reinsert the card?
