I had a similar problem. I turned off all PCMCIA support in the kernel.
I don't know why it's there in the first place (seems to be new with
2.4.x).

These little snippets are from my woody partition (I'm typing this on my
potato partition).

potato:~# grep -i pcmcia  /mnt/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17/.config
# PCMCIA/CardBus support
# CONFIG_PCMCIA is not set
# CONFIG_PHONE_IXJ_PCMCIA is not set

potato:~# ls -lR /mnt/usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs/ | grep orinoco
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     src         99701 Oct 19 23:53 orinoco.c
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     src          4107 Oct  9 23:01 orinoco.h
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     src         23503 Oct 19 23:53 orinoco_cs.c

potato:~# ls -lR /mnt/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17/ | grep orinoco
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       100085 Oct  9 18:13 orinoco.c
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         4145 Oct  9 18:13 orinoco.h
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        23327 Oct  9 18:13 orinoco_cs.c
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        10575 Dec 21 12:41 orinoco_plx.c

Luck,
