Hi,
I have had similiar issues with a wireless card being intermittent on a laptop (Note: The laptop is often restarted and certain scripts are run by default). On my end initially--and by the way, it's not 100% resolved--is that the default settings of the Operating System/Window Manager are to enable control of the networking settings through 2 different application utilities--which you can choose from, and are each not compatible with the way they manage the settings)
Switching between these applications would result in some of the settings being overwritten, most likely because each was reading certain configuration files (maybe some of the same) and overwriting them to suit the way they worked.
At this point, I am looking in the /udev functioning and maybe the driver modules that are loaded....
But anyway, it always seems to be hard to track down driver issues
I do have another card that works wirelessly, but I want to try and fix it. If I do, i'll be sure to post what I find.

cardctl
CARDCTL(8) System Manager's Manual CARDCTL(8)
NAME
cardctl - PCMCIA card control utility
SYNOPSIS
cardctl [-V] command [socket]
cardctl [-c config] [-f scheme] [-s stab] scheme [name]
DESCRIPTION
Cardctl is used to monitor and control the state of PCMCIA sockets. If a socket number is specified, the command will be applied to just
one socket; otherwise, all sockets will be affected.
Cardctl is also used to select between multiple PCMCIA configuration schemes. The current scheme name is passed to the device option
scripts as part of the ``device address'', so the scripts can use it to choose between different setups.
If cardctl is executed by root, all commands are available. If it is executed by an unpriviledged user, only the informational commands
are accessible.
Some commands may not work or give misleading results if cardmgr is not running.
COMMANDS
status
Display the current socket status flags.
config
Display the socket configuration, including power settings, interrupt and I/O window settings, and configuration registers.
ident
Display card identification information, including product identification strings, manufacturer ID codes, and function ID codes.
suspend
Shut down and then disable power for a socket.
resume
Restore power to a socket, and re-configure for use.
reset
Send a reset signal to a socket, subject to approval by any drivers already bound to the socket.
eject
Notify all client drivers that this card will be ejected, then cut power to the socket.
insert
Notify all client drivers that this card has just been inserted.
scheme
If no scheme name is given, cardctl will display the current PCMCIA configuration scheme. If a scheme name is given, cardctl will
unconfigure all PCMCIA devices, and reconfigure for the new scheme.
OPTIONS
-V Show version information and exit.
-c config
Look for the card configuration database and card configuration scripts in the specified directory, instead of /etc/pcmcia.
-f scheme
Use the specified file to keep track of the current configuration scheme, instead of /var/lib/pcmcia/scheme.
-s stab
Read current socket information from the specified file, instead of /var/lib/pcmcia/stab.
