kernel 2.6.17: hostap_cs not working, used to work on older kernels

Hi,

On the Debian 560e Thinkpad that I would particularly like to get working, card insertion gives me the following syslog:

kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
kernel: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0

Thats it. No module is loaded.

# lsmod | grep pcmcia
pcmcia                 33468  1 fmvj18x_cs
firmware_class          9344  1 pcmcia
pcmcia_core            36368  4 fmvj18x_cs,pcmcia,pd6729,rsrc_nonstatic

As can be seen from the presence of fmvj18x_cs (a wired ethernet PCMCIA
card) enough is working to get some other PCMCIA cards loaded properly.

# modprobe hostap_cs

Gives the following syslog:
kernel: ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
kernel: hostap_cs: 0.4.4-kernel (Jouni Malinen <jkmaline at cc.hut.fi>)
kernel: hostap_cs: setting Vcc=33 (constant)
kernel: Checking CFTABLE_ENTRY 0x01 (default 0x01)
kernel: IO window settings: cfg->io.nwin=1 dflt.io.nwin=1
kernel: io->flags = 0x0046, io.base=0x0000, len=64
kernel: hostap_cs: Registered netdevice wifi0
kernel: hostap_cs: index 0x01: , irq 5, io 0x0140-0x017f
kernel: prism2_hw_init: initialized in 228 ms
kernel: wifi0: hfa384x_cmd: entry still in list? (entry=b32612a0,
type=0, res=0) 
kernel: wifi0: hfa384x_cmd: command was not completed
(res=0, entry=b32612a0, type=0, cmd=0x0021, param0=0xfd0b, EVSTAT=8010
INTEN=0010) 
kernel: wifi0: interrupt delivery does not seem to work
kernel: wifi0: hfa384x_get_rid: CMDCODE_ACCESS failed (res=-110,
rid=fd0b, len=8) 
kernel: Could not get RID for component NIC 
kernel: hostap_cs: Initialization failed 
kernel: prism2_config() failed
kernel: hostap_cs: probe of 0.0 failed with error 1

The module loads but fails, and I end up with a wifi0 network interface
but no wlan0 interface.

Any hints as to how I might get this card loading automatically under
udev, and then working?

Thanks,
Clayton (see lspcmcia and lspci below)
