   The overall architecture of hotplug/udev module loading is
 broken as it does not allow user override. I have explained in details
 the problem to the concerned people, but it seems that they don't
 really care. The standard answer is blacklist the orinoco
 module. Let's not even mention libusual.

You can also have a local alias overriding in a /etc/modprobe.d/ file,
for example:
alias pcmcia:m02AAc0002f*fn*pfn*pa*pb*pc*pd* hostap_cs

modprobe will use this alias only, since it doesn't look in
module.alias if the alias is resolved before.

This allows to override the driver for a specific card, without
blacklisting a driver still usable with a whole number of cards.

 Please consider this page about drakroam and net_applet as well:

   NetApplet was already on my page, but thanks to you I've
 checked it and it's now 404. Well, assuming your netapplet is the
 same/continuation of the netapplet from Robert Love  Joe Shaw, and
 not something totally different using the same name.
   I'll update that.

Nope, it's not the same project. Our net_applet was born only a bit
earlier, though it didn't support wireless at this time.

Thanks
