Based on the kernel listed in your output, you should probably be loading "yenta_socket". This is normally done by putting the following in /etc/default/pcmcia: PCIC=yenta_socketI have PCIC=i82365, which, again, works. Can you explain why yenta_socket is the better option?
I believe yenta vs. i82365 is an issue of whether you are using pcmcia from the kernel or from the pcmcia_cs package. This is explained in the documentation provided with pcmcia_cs[1].
I also have this card, and I can confirm that both implementations of pcmcia work. I use linux-wlan-ng, but the orinoco_cs driver also works. I cannot explain why you are having trouble loading the drivers on boot. It took me a while to get things working properly. I often found it useful to wipe /etc/pcmcia and reinstall pcmcia_cs and linux-wlan-ng from source because I had fiddled with the config files beyond repair.
