Thanks for the heads-up but better if you provide additional data, for
instance:
- Is the wifi card detected at all? → lspci
- Is it available under your network settings? → /sbin/ifconfig
- What do logs say? → review your "/var/log/syslog" and "/var/log/
wpa_supplicant" files

- Have you tried to setup the card manually or by using another tool
(NetworkManager)?

You meant that if you first boot into windows and then start linux the
card is working okay? That sounds to me like a power saving issue, I
remember something similar happened with some models of realtek wired
ethernet adapters some years ago... :-?
