Well it may or may not make them go away...  I haven't had the time
to investigate exactly what was wrong with my setup.. (or busybox,
whichever) So some of this may just be waving a dead chicken.

My issue was that the pcmcia tools appear to only build modules with
versioning enabled AND busybox insmod was looking for my modules in
the /lib/modules/2.2.17 tree when I was running a 2.2.19 kernel.. So
all sorts of wierdness was hppening.

When I enabled module checking it alerted me that it was trying to
load 2.2.17 modules into a .19 kernel.  So I just nuked that old tree
and things started to work AS LONG AS vesioning checking was enabled
because all the pcmcia modules have them. (Or at least the ones that
build for me with make config)

I went ahead and left my modules tree as is so I have a net, misc,
pcmcia, etc... below the kernel version dir.
