Hello Brett,
I tested it with the result as follows:
"wvlan_cs.o" driver cannot be listed in /lib/modules.
All PCMCIA card drivers are handled by cardmgr (PCMCIA Card Manager) controled
by /etc/init.d/pcmcia script. "wvlan_cs.o" driver needs to have previously
loaded "pcmcia_core.o", "ds.o" and "i82365.o" drivers located in
/lib/modules/pcmcia/ folder.

The only solution it appears to load module "3c509" after cardmgr has activated
PCMCIA card service. So I simply hacked /etc/init.d/pcmcia script as follows:

start part:
sleep 15 #it takes cardmgr some time to activate PCMCIA card service
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/3c509.o
sleep 10 #wait to see if 3c509 loades as eth1
/etc/init.d/networking restart  #network was already started before PCMCIA card
service

stop part:
ifdown eth1
rmmod 3c509

This solution is not so clean but works. If anyone has a better idea just let us
know.
