By looking at that list of errors, it appears your system is trying to 
autodetect everything possible in the solar system.  You can install the 
modules yourself manually.  You will need the 80211 module:

/sbin/insmod 80211

and the pci wireless chipset:

/sbin/insmod prism2_pci

The README in the linux-wlan tarball will show you the *exact* setup
needed for your install.  It took me a long time to learn how to read
directions.  Once I did, it worked.  It will show you which modules to 
load and how to configure the cards from the command line.
