	Because you need to fully initialise the Pcmcia socket and the
firmware before the led goes up. And that's assuming that your
hardware is working properly (those wireless card suck a lot of power
which tend to create problem with poor embedded designs).
	Please go through the source of the Pcmcia package (including
cardmgr) and the source of the orinoco driver to see how much you have
to re-implement. The best documentation is still the source code...
	Good luck...
