Were they compiled for the 2.2.16 kernel?

It has successfully identified the card.

The hermes.o module installed.

The orinoco.o module installed

That module is unhappy.  Three possibilities come to mind:  
(1) it is dependent on another module which is not present; 
(2) it was compiled for a different kernel; or 
(3) you're trying to install a wireless module on BL3 kernel

The orinoco_cs.o module installed.
It too is unhappy.

Kernel issues.

Those look like issues related to the failure of the
previous orinoco module.  I think they might disappear 
after the orinoco.o module goes in without error.

You are about halfway.  The card is identified and cardmgr
is trying to install the modules you specified.  Unfortunately
there is something wrong with those modules.  Wrong modules,
wrong kernel, whatever.  Once you get the modules right,
the installation should complete and you will hear the 
second beep from cardmgr.

Cheers,
