The key here is the vendor and device code returned by lspci -n which is used by the kernel to look for the appropriate driver. In this case I guess you want the ath_cb driver for a CardBus interface. I believe the hotplug facility is still responsible for mapping a device to a driver and doing the driver loading.

I seem to have the same device; the vendor and device code for mine is 168c:0013 -- googling for that quickly turns up Madwifi as an apparently fully supported completely open-source driver (as indeed I have found to be the case).

As for how to go the other way around, figure out that PCI device 03:00.0 is managed by lsmod module so-and-so, I really only have vague ideas. Look in /proc/bus/pci, /proc/net and so forth.

usb_mid - USB Multi Interface Driver SYNOPSIS
device@unit-address DESCRIPTION
The usb_mid driver is a USBA (Solaris Universal Serial Bus Architecture) compliant nexus driver that binds to device level nodes of a com- posite (multi interface) device if no vendor or class specific driver is available. The usb_mid driver attempts to bind drivers to each of the composite device's interfaces. FILES
