I have read his original messages and appears to be the same problem, 
the card is detected when "something" wants.

I also added some entries to my pci-ids files but it appears to do nothing.

My system have a Texas Instruments PCI4410 PCI bridge (if it helps to 
anyone).

All, I tried all, with system-network-config, with profiles there, 
manually remove and install modules, nothing.

It works when it want. It seems that the problem isn't madwifi (except 
when the "ath%d" message appears in dmesg), but I don't know where I can 
search to solve the problem.

I tried to recompile the pcmcia-cs sources (only compile the utils, not 
the modules because my kernel is a 2.6.10.1_741-fc3).

I don't tried to recompile madwifi, because I don't think the problem 
were 100% of the "madwifi-kmdl" package I have installed (the update is 
2 days ago).

I think it can be a "race condition" (I think only).
