I was assigned an Ubuntu desktop with some stuff already on it. I did not reformat it, but atachedattached a mini-PCI wirlesswireless card over ana PCI to mini-PCI adapter. I manually built the madwifimadwifi driver and installed it'sits .ko files.

Now lshw -C network always shows the card, but it sometimes shows it as 'unclaimed' and sometimes it shows with the madwifimadwifi (i.e. ath_pciath_pci) driver. Any idea what can cause this effect?
