This just says its an SDIO host adapter (?); it doesn't say what
wireless card is actually inserted in the host adapter.  You need a
driver for the wireless card that you're putting into the host adapter.
That driver does not appear to be present, and therefore the card isn't
found.  HAL doesn't appear to know about any wireless interfaces
(because there's no driver for your card), so therefore NetworkManager
won't know.

What card model is the 802.11 SD card?  What Linux driver does it use?
