pacman -Syu & ndiswrapper

i did a pacman -Syu upgraded my kernel to kernel26-2.6.10-3

as ive done in past when i see my kernel is being upgraded
i reload nvidia & ndiswrapper , no biggie
only this time ndiswrapper is loading but no wlan0
i update to ndiswrapper-1.0rc3 from ndiswrapper-0.12
still no good try kernel26mm i get to login but i cant do nothing
(luckily i added an entry to grub for kernel26mm instead of just
my only option)
so i go to /etc/rc.conf load pcmcia  then i get fatal error
here is what dmesg gives me (what i believe is what pertinent)

not ready to give up i load kernel26-scsi
did the trick i got wlan0 up again
but still get the same fatal error if i load pcmcia
its no big deal to me but it might mean something to somebody else
i dont need to load pcmcia for to get wlan0 to work

hopefully anyone who might need this reads it before they run
pacman -Syu

or if after it makes things easier for them

theres small hurdles but i still like arch linux the best
thanks everyone
