I did get it to work with the orinoco_cs driver that comes with
the pcmcia-modules for the 2.4 kernel. It doesn't work with
the 2.2.20 modules.
One quirk was that I had to define a start_fn() in network.opts
that did a iwpriv card_reset. Otherwise the card would only
find the AP the first time it was inserted.
