So, since this is a 2.6 kernel, pcmcia-cs didn't build any drivers. Rather it relies on those in the kernel, which are:
<*> PCMCIA/CardBus support
[ ] Enable PCMCIA debugging
<*> CardBus yenta-compatible bridge support
<*> Support for PCI Hotplug (EXPERIMENTAL)
<*> DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support
(I'm suprised, but this netgear FA-511 runs on a regular tulip driver)
[*] Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions
<*> Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)
<*> Hermes PCMCIA card support
..as well as all the ACPI stuff. This is an old TOshiba Satellite 1555CDS, so that may be an issue as well, but like I say, the orinoco_cs driver under 2.4.x worked just fine.
I've tried all the others as modules, and this is the least number of wireless nic modules I've tried and still get lockups. Any fewer and the card isn't recognized at all. As soon as I plug in this card, my screen freezes solid and I have to hit the poweroff button to restart. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
je_fro

Hey, I finally got this card working.
I had to edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to exclude a bunch of irq's, like here:
http://c133.org/ze4420/#pcmcia
But it finally works with:
yenta_socket - built in the kernel
orinoco - module
orinoco_cs - module
hermes - module
Later!
WOOHOO!!!

This Card is GREAT I put it in and it worked, didn't have to do anything, I had tried some other cards resulting in over 40 hours of time trying to get them to work right and this one worked immediately.

Great! Just plugged it in and it worked (Bought it in ebay because all the reviews here pointed to it). Great card, but slow.
