What is kern-2.6.33-r1?  Maybe it means that your kernel is 2.6.33-rc1?
What is the output of "uname -a"?

I suggest that you try either the 2.6.33 release or the latest release
candidate (currently 2.6.34-rc6).

If you didn't compile the kernel and don't want to recompile it, you can
try compat-wireless.

I have never seen anything like that.  ieee80211_register_hw() returns
-ENOENT, but I don't see where it could happen without extra messages
appearing in the kernel log.

Make sure that CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL is enabled in your .config
file.  You may need to put debug printk() statements to
ieee80211_register_hw() to see where it fails.
