May I suggest that you fix your "From" address in your mailer?

My pci.agent hotplug script gives this message as well when the prism54.o module
is already loaded, for example because the WLAN card was inserted and removed
before (which caused loading the driver).  Just have a look at the /etc/hotplug/pci.agent
script, and see where it is produced.  The message is seriously misleading, I think,
but harmless.

That has nothing to do with the message above.  Have you tried
setting the ESSID of the AP ("NETGEAR") to your WLAN card,
e.g. iwconfig eth1 essid NETGEAR (AFTER the "ifup")?
