MA111 problems at boot

Hi everyone,

I've asked for help with this before, but didn't receive much response.  
Does anyone have any ideas?

I am using a Netgear MA111 USB adapter with Fedora Core 2 running kernel 
2.6.8-1.521.  I installed linux-wlan-ng 0.2.1 pre26 and it works just 
fine, with the exception of, what I gather is, a pretty common problem.

If the adapter is plugged in when I boot (or restart) the computer, it 
is not recognized.  I found the FAQ that suggests I add "options 
prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1" to modules.conf.  Since I have a 2.6x 
kernel, I popped that into my modprobe.conf file, but it doesn't seem to 
have done anything.
I added it at the very beginning of the file, before either of these 
commands:

alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias wlan0 prism2_usb

Does that make a difference?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the parts of my dmesg output that refer to USB and WLAN.  I 
have attached the full dmesg output as a text file, in case I missed 
anything.
