The card is recognized and checking /etc/pcmcia/config it should have had the orinoco_cs module bound to it. To manually configure the card:

ifconfig eth0 up
iwconfig eth0 essid networkname
iwconfig eth0 enc 213213213213
dhcpcd eth0

If you're not running encryption, you should be able to skip steps 2 and 3.

Cheers,

Thanks Finegan, that works for me.

I just removed plug and play aware os from bios, think that may have been a problem, but im up and running and can reboot now thanks again
