I am assuming your problem was with the card modules and not the Akita port
-- If memory serves me correctly, angstrom uses udev for this - I assume
you have set the ignore_cis_vcc=1

This is from an old message I sent long ago on a different distribution,
but it may apply here (I don't have my ipaq with me to check how angstrom
has this structured, so I hope it is accurate):

ps -aef|grep udev

remove card
rmmod all previously loaded drivers, usually: (hostap_cs, hostap,
orinoco_cs, orinoco, hermes)
/etc/init.d/udev start
insert card
