its not abnormal for the system profiler to not show things.... thats an old Apple bug.... if you are using 10.3.6 you do not need to install any drivers for the cardbus card UNLESS it is using a 'non ohci' compliant chip, or certain 3rd party vendors chips are not directly compatible do you have any idea what chip sets are being used in the card?
