Well... I think something is broken. I have a similar setup and my orinoco
card doesnt work with 2.6.0 AND acpi. When I insert the card I get the error
"Unknow Method: RequestIRQ" on syslog. My "wired" pcmcia 8139 wotks fine. I
try the mm2 patch and it works but since it broken other things I give it up.
