I'm working with a fanless PC that has an ARM chipset, 2 eth plugs and a wifi card (among other things). If I install debian 6 on it all three network interfaces are available at boot time. Today I tried to install debian 7 and had numerous errors indicating that the wireless card isn't supported.

uap0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
uap0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
uap0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
No such device
ERR:UAPHOSTCMD is not supported by uap0
ERR:Command sending failed!
No such device

I've tried comparing the kernel module list to the working system but there are too many other differences to make something obvious enough (to me) stand out.

How would I get started debugging this problem?
