Not immediately.  The BL3 kernel does not contain wireless
capability (it was left out to keep the kernel small).
You can replace the BL3 kernel (zimage) with the bare.i
kernel (bzimage) from Slackware 7.1.  It has wireless
capability.  You will also need a module (driver) for
the Orinoco.  I'm not sure which one it needs.  A bit
of googling might tell you.

There are several wireless modules in the Slackware 7.1 
modules directory, but there's no guarantee you will find 
the right one for the Orinoco (especially if it is a recent 
card).    

Once you get the right module, you need to tell cardmgr
what to do with it.  This is done in /etc/pcmcia/config

Cheers,
Steven
