Sorry, I was talking nonsense;

I was confusing two WiFi devices I have,
each containing PCMCIA Orinoco cards.
One is a PCI-to-PCMCIA device, and the other is a USB device.
I have the former in the machine at present,
so (fortunately) I have no need for orinoco_usb .
I did use it in this machine a couple of years ago,
and managed to compile orinoco_usb at that time.

But I'm out of the country at the moment,
and will try again when I get back next week.
If that doesn't work I'll call again on your great expertise.
