No, the irq is probaby not needed.  If the io address 
is right, the kernel should be able to detect the irq.

Two possible solutions:
(1) symlink insmod to modprobe
(2) edit iw (assuming it's a script)

If the module requires a helper (or two), you will
have to include it in iw (for option 2) or insmod
the helper manually before running iw (for option 1).

Execute badblocks (it comes with BL2 and BL3) or 
simply use the -c parameter for mke2fs
