Mu linksys WPC11 wireless pcmcia card that also uses orinoco_cs.o failed 
miserably in one of my Toshiba laptop computers, but worked in the other 
with kernel 2.4.31.  With 2.2.26 it segfaulted.

Try the same card with 2.4.31 kernel and modules, and/or in a different 
computer.

aironet worked in all my computers with both kernels.

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31 contains several kernels (try 
bzimagla.431 which is a small one for laptops, not sure if it will support 
wireless) and both packages of modules-la*.tgz (the second contains the 
pcmcia modules).

Did this card work before it was given to you?
