Is this a PCMCIA or CardBus device? If the latter, which I suspect, the device particulars will show 
up with the PCI data. Check the full output of "lspci -v" and check for an entry that starts with 
03:00.0, which is where the new interface should appear. The 03 comes from the secondary Bus listed 
below. If your device does show up there, also do an "lspci -n". My wireless interface reports 
"02:00.0 Class 0280: 14e4:4320 (rev 02)". Of importance are the numbers in the position where I have 
14e4:4320. For a driver to attach to the device, its internal tables must match these values.
