RedHat 8 comes with a rather old /etc/pcmcia/config file that tells cardmgr what module to bind to what card. There are three sets of drivers that work with the WPC11 v3, but in order to get the kernel set, orinoco_cs to bind properly you'll have to use a sort of home cooked patch that the guys here have come up with.
