Laptop / wireless card problem with HD detection

It seems that the installation CD for 10.0 doesn't work on my laptop (a Dell
Inspiron 1000) if the wireless card is inserted into the slot; the hard drive
can't be detected. Even the rescue system has the problem; "fdisk /hda" says
that the disk is unreadable. (Windows has no similar problem.) What's more,
with the system installed, shutdown, or even switching users in KDE, hangs up
if the wireless card is inserted. Somehow the presence of that card seems to
confuse Linux (the kernel, probably) very badly.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I can get around the problem by
withdrawing the card, but that shouldn't be necessary.
