I'm not sure I understand this output...this happens even before the
net.eth1 script is executed, because the first thing it will do is try
to load modules, which causes the warning below. Did you modify the
pcmcia network script to add an iwconfig command?

Ok, this message happens if "iwlist eth1 scanning" doesn't produce any
output on stdout. Could you try running that command and see what you get?
