Mark,

I use that card, but with 2.4.18-k7:

~# lsmod | grep orinoco
orinoco_cs              4296   1 
orinoco                29280   0  [orinoco_cs]
hermes                  3360   0  [orinoco_cs orinoco]
ds                      6464   1  [orinoco_cs]
pcmcia_core            38656   0  [orinoco_cs ds yenta_socket]

I never did use 2.2.20, but with 2.2.18 and older pcmcia source I had
to hand compile a driver (wavelan or wvlan or something, downloaded
from the Agere systems web site). That was a long while ago though, so
I can't remember the details.

Sorry for the fuzzy details, but I hope this is some help.

Cheers!
Shyamal
