Your problem has nothing to do with your NIC od PCMCIA host bridges. The 
"unresolved symbol" message is an indication that one of your kernel modules, 
apperently the PCMCIA socket driver, needs a function that is neither in the 
runnung kernel nor in one of the other kernel modules. The name of the 
missing symbol (isapnp_find_dev) looks like you have to enable ISA-PnP 
support in your kernel config.
