Is your card seen? What does PCMCIA tool show? Use ident tab.
Is this an old lappy that does not support cardbus? Or an irq conflict? Need more information.

the ident tab shows:

Code Sample

Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
product info:"Atheros Communication, Inc.", "AR5001-0000-0000","Wireless LAN Reference Card","00"
manfid: 0x0271, 0x0012
function: 6 (network)

Onyarian, thanks for letting us know.

mrmarley, this might mean an irq conflict. Take a look at

dmesg | grep -i irq

Also might try booting with the option pci=assign_busses
