strange kernel option

Hi,

I'm still dealing with my compile errors of the latest CVS-download.

The funny thing is, that my wlan is only working, if I enable the
following options in my kernel:
rescue:/usr/src/linux# grep ATMEL .config
CONFIG_ATMEL=m
# CONFIG_PCI_ATMEL is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_ATMEL is not set
rescue:/usr/src/linux# grep WIRELESS .config
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y

If I disable the CONFIG_ATMEL=m (like I should...), its not working
anymore. In this case I can't even load the at76c503_rfmd module ....


Any ideas whats going wrong here? its a vanilla kernel 2.6.6 on debian
testing.
Please find below lsmod and /var/log/messages output

thanks christian
