/var/log/messages concerns

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the length of this post. I had to include
everything so that you guys will see my concerns
regarding /var/log/messages results before and after
upgrading to pcmcia v3.1.33. My old pcmcia was
v3.1.29.
Anyways, notice the last lines of the two messages
file:

Prior to upgrading, my messages listed isa irqs:
Mar 31 03:25:01 SR3000 kernel: ISA irqs (default) =
3,4,5,7,9 PCI status changes. 

But after upgrading, no isa irqs were listed/detected:
Mar 31 03:20:15 SR3000 kernel: ISA irqs (scanned) =
none!<6>    PCI card interrupts, PCI status changes).

This problem causes my wireless card modules
(specificly orinoco_cs) to fail loading on some
hardware systems (results to an irq resource error).

But if I were to use the old 3.1.29 package, the
modules loads, although, 3.1.29 still uses the buggy
wvlan_cs madules. orinoco_cs cannot be compiled using
the old 3.1.29 pcmcia package right?

Can anyone give me any advice on how to fix this
problem?

TIA.
