My guess was that enabling the card in BIOS simply switches the power of the WLAN card on. But I really don't understand why it's not detected then with my vanilla kernel. My naive thought was that the kernel scans all possible PCI[e] slots a chipset offers and finds all cards there. Seems to be a bit more subtle... > no magic patches at all.
