Where do I tell it which module to load for a device?

Hi,
I have finally got my pcmcia (well, its cardbus really) wifi card working in linux. It uses a module called 'ndiswrapper'. Where do I tell hotplug/yenta/cardmgr/the kernel/whatever else it is to load this module when it finds this card?
Can I tell it to run a script as well?

Thanks
Simon

/etc/pcmcia/config

add this

device "ndiswrapper"
class "network" module "ndiswrapper"

Then under your card add this to bind

"ndiswrapper"

My card isn't listed, what do I do?

I tried adding the lspci info to /etc/pcmcia/config, but that doesn't seem to have worked. It doesn't help that I don't have the faintest idea where I'm supposed to get the info.
I read that cardbus cards are completely different, and use yenta rather than the pcmcia subsystem. My WiFi card is cardbus- am I adding things to the wrong file?

Thanks
