Please don't rephrase the error messages. It's also important that you
specify the version of the software, in this case the kernel and the
driver.

The kernel messages can be seen if you run dmesg. This may have some
useful information.

Use "pccardctl ident" or "cardctl ident" to identify the card. Use
"modprobe orinoco_cs" to load the driver manually.

Thank you for the tips,
I did try the command you gave me and didn't work. I'll post the kernel
soon. can't do it right now.
