Okay, so it detected it at boot.

I think you mean "I unplugged the card" here.

and "I plugged the card back in".

This is telling - the card wasn't bound to any driver.

Presumably because PCMCIA didn't bind the device to the driver, despite
the function ID matching.  Sounds like a core PCMCIA issue to me.

Why did it work at boot but not subsequently?  I don't know the answer
to that.
