Thank you very much for your help;
You're absolutely right: sorry for the poor infos:
Card is an orinoco gold 8470 wd with the *theoretically* supported 
atheros chipset. Drivers ath_hal is compiled into kernel:
Perhaps I'shoud try it with separate kernel-module ?

#Atheros chipset support
device          ath
device          ath_hal
device          ath_rate_sample

# wireless options
device          wlan_wep
device          wlan_ccmp
device          wlan_tkip
device          wlan_xauth
device          wlan_acl

pciconf -l shows:

So, do you think the problem is due to the cardbus, or to the inserted 
card ?

Thanks again for your help,
