Using snapshots might be a safer bet, unless you have good reason to use 
sources instead.

Not 100% sure, but maybe your card needs a firmware. When upgrading/installing 
from snapshots this firmware is installed automatically. I don't know if this 
is also the case when upgrading from source.

Look at fw_update(1), running it manually to install missing firmware and 
doing a reboot to let the system pick it up might help.

If fw_update runs as part of an install/upgrade you (or root) should receive a 
mail of what updates took place. (IIRC it also leaves info in your dmesg)
