Cisco dropped support for several older WIC cards with the release
of the ISR routers. You have to check the hardware compatibility lists.
There are several other WICs that were dropped as well for the ISRs.

I can confirm that the 2811 does not work with the WIC-1DSU-T1 card in
any release of software. (they do work in the 2801 strangely enough, 
but its not a supported configuration). 

I believe the main reason for this (besides the fact that the
WIC-1DSU-T1 card was EOL'd before the ISR was released) is the rampant
piracy of this WIC, and this is an effort by Cisco to lessen some of that.
