This has nothing to do with the re(4) driver. The problem is that
the cardbus code is not allocating an interrupt resource for the device:

It sure is.

Note that there is no 'irq' mentioned anywhere in this line, which is why
you get this error:

If you really think this is related to the driver, prove it: back out
the changes (while keeping the rest of your kernel the same) and see if
it works again. I don't think it will.
