to run depmod -a is the key off the problem probably.
the original file modules.dep 
....
/lib/modules/2.4.18-0.18/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_cs.o: \
        /lib/modules/2.4.18-0.18/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.o \        \
         /lib/modules/2.4.18-0.18/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hermes.o \
        /lib/modules/2.4.18-0.18/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o \
        /lib/modules/2.4.18-0.18/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o

with orinoco.10 the modules.dep 
lib/modules/2.4.18-0.18/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_cs.o: \
        /lib/modules/2.4.18-0.18/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.o \        \
         /lib/modules/2.4.18-0.18/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hermes.o 
however it is work.

But with orinoco.11 it dont work.
I think it is necessary to recompile pcmcia_core and ds.....

any comments?
