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.
