Kernel 2.6.14 could not detect Atheros pcmcia (madwifi-ng)

[Erdenebayar Buriad (ATR)]

Hi all

I am user :

Computer : DELL workstation precision 380
OS : Redhat Interprise Linux 4 ES (default kernel was 2.6.9-5)
Current (after compile) kernel : 2.6.14.4 (Also I tried Kernel  2.6.14 , 
2.6.15 and 2.6.16)
Wireless card : Aterm WL54AG ( Atheros chipsets based wireless devices )
Module : madwifi-ng
wireless tools : Wireless-Tools version 28
(I attached results of lspci and cardctl )

************

Purpose : I want to use three Atheros based wireless network cards on same 
system (kernel 2.6.14 or high).

Current status :
Redhat EL4_ES (Kernel 2.6.9-5) could not detect my wireless card, so I 
started update kernel version.
But , all CardBus bridge (Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475) are OK.

First, I compiled kernel 2.6.10 , 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 , ........... 2.6.16 .
But all kernel could not detect my wireless card , except kernel 2.6.13 
series.
It means , only kernel 2.6.13 (2.6.13.5) could detect my wireless card.

But , I want to use kernel 2.6.14 or high.
When I compile kernel 2.6.14 and high , I used compile "config" file of 
kernel 2.6.13.

My question:

Is there any (code and other) change of PCMCIA in kernel 2.6.14 (2.6.14 and 
high) than kernel 2.6.13 ?

Have you any idea about my problem ?
