Maybe, maybe not. I assume your wireless card is plug-and-play, no? Anyway, the subsystem you're looking to debug is the setupAPI system - when a driver is installed in Windows, it's actually not installed but "pre-installed" via setupAPI. If you
enable setupAPI logging and then view the log file when this error comes up, it might shed some light on the file it's having a hard time finding.
It is also entirely possible the uninstallation didn't remove a registry key that the installer uses to determine if the driver is installed (and thus doesn't install all files because that registry key says the files are already there). In that case you might be SOL if the device depends on other registry keys that are added only by the installer. Find the INF file that refers to your cardbus device (c:\windows\inf) and make sure all the files it refers to are on your system (.sys files in c:\windows\system32\drivers and .dll files in c:\windows\system32).
Good Luck.
