When I installed FC2, the detection didn't work correctly, and I got
incorrect modules for the onboard Ether as well as the Mini-PCI wireless.
I don't have a recipe for solving it, but I ended up deleting both
interfaces, putting aliases in /etc/modprobe.conf for both interfaces
(airo_cs for the wireless), and running kudzu and system-config-network a
few times to get the right combination of devices and drivers.  I may even
have edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX by hand to get the
HWADDR fields correct.

Sorry, don't know much about the PC-card firmware.  The PC-card and
MiniPCI models must have a difference.  This is looking like a bug
introduced in the later kernels.
