Do you have pcmcia-modules or kernel-pcmcia-modules installed? The
latter seems to be "preferred", and is what I initially had installed.
The former, however, includes a working version of orinoco.o. You
can only have one or the other installed.
$ apt-cache policy pcmcia-modules
$ apt-cache policy kernel-pcmcia-modules

I cannot do networking with my laptop, but I can read a large SD card with it. I would really appreciate any help I might receive in fixing this problem and (if possible) learning how to prevent this from happening again.
I don't know if there is a "graceful" fix. And I haven't seen a
response yet to my bugreport, nearly two months later. As for
prevention, that's more difficult. My plan is to hold my kernel at
its current version unless there's a problem that I know needs to be
patched.
