You must have an old version of pcmcia-cs (which may be the case if you're running stable), since I don't see prism2_cs being referenced in my setup. You may have to edit /etc/pcmcia/config, see if you can find your card, and change it to use orinoco_cs instead of prism2_cs, and I guess add the lines: device "orinoco_cs" class "network" module "orinoco_cs" somewhere near the top of the file. (You may have to write `class "network" module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"' as the second line.)

The pcmcia directory is only used if you compile the pcmcia-cs modules. Since you're using the kernel drivers, all the PCMCIA stuff is scattered in /lib/modules/2.6.2/kernel/drivers. In particular, you should see orinoco_cs in .../kernel/drivers/net/wireless.
