Did you download the orinoco.o module too?
I think the orinoco_cs.o module needs it.
I think you also need the hermes.o module.

Put the modules in /lib/modules/2.2.26/pcmcia
You will then need to edit /etc/pcmciaconfig
Down at the bottom you will see a template for
wireless cards. You will need to do something
similar for your card.

I'm guessing it will look something like this:
-----------------------------------------
device "orinoco_cs"
class "network"
module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"
-----------------------------------------
Put this at the top with the other device
lines.

-------------------------------------
card "NETGEAR MA401 Wireless PC Card"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "orinoco_cs"
-------------------------------------
Put this with the other card lines.
You may need to change the manfid
numbers to match your card.

To configure your wireless parameters, you
may need to do something like this:
---------------------------------------------
module "orinoco_cs" opts "parameters go here"
---------------------------------------------
That goes at the bottom of /etc/pmcia/config

Cheers,
Steven
