Looks like it's a CB35, which is actually an 88w8335 MiniPCI card.
Would be supported by the mwl8k driver ideally.  I've started on trying
to add support to mwl8k for the 8335 parts, but we'll need to split the
driver so that we can create IO hooks for the different parts.  It'll be
a bit, but we'll get there.
