What a mess.  Looks like its trying to load a lot of modules that have
nothing to do with a wireless adapter.  Try sending the output from the
following:

 1) physically eject your pcmcia/cardbus wireless card
 2) physically insert your pcmcia/cardbus wireless card
 3) send us the output from "tail -25 /var/log/messages"
    which should include the kernel messages that it sends 
    as it tries to load the driver for that card
