Well, I am just guessing here, but you could try the following:
1) modprobe orinoco_cs
orinoco.ko is just the shared common code of all orinoco cards, for my PCI
based card I have to load orinoco_pci before the device actually shows up.
2) If you use module auto loading, blacklist hostap and hostap_cs.
For some reason one of the last udev/hotplug/whatever releases started to
autoload hostap for my card, which didn't work at all. You can check for that
with
lsmod | grep hostap
If it still doesn't work after that, you really should try to provide some
more info.
