Sometimes, it takes two insertions for my HP laptop to recognize a card; however, it always finds it 
if it is inserted when booting.

Please shut down the system, insert the wireless card, and then boot. Once it is booted post the 
output of dmesg and lspci -vvv with a CC to linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org. It is quite likely that 
your BIOS is not correctly reporting the memory limits.
