I am having problems getting my PCMCIA WiFi wlan card to work under Gentoo, I use a 3Com 3CRSHPW196 Office Connect card, witch has an Atmel chipset.
I have downloaded and installed a slightly modified version of the Atmelwlan drivers (latest CVS snapshot), the modifications to the source have been made according to this article:
The 3Com 3CRSHPW_96 OfficeConnect Wireless NIC under Linux excuse for a HOWTO
I have gone trough this guide to get my PCMCIA to work:
PCMCIA nic: getting it working with pcmcia-cs (for n00bs!)

I get some strange errors when I'm booting my laptop, an IBM ThinkPad A31:
Code:
...

What have I done wrong?
I have added these portage packages:
pcmcia-cs-drivers
pcmcia-cs
pcmcia-cs-tools
PS!
I don't get any error messages if I do a /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart (wich I did earlier)
ifconfig -a does not show up my wifi card.

Edit:
This is the output of dmsg:
Code:

Doesn't anyone have any ideas of what is causing my problem?

I don't know if this will help but here is a link to what I did to get my wireless card to work.

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=49370&highlight=atmel

I did not see your error similar to yours while I worked on getting mine set up but it might help. The biggest difference between the method I used and the method that you would use would be the options used to when running make config and what module was used.

Ater reading your post again I saw one one thing of interest.

I had the same error when I was setting my card up. In the thread listed it shows how to get rid of that error.

Hope this helps.
