(1) See what the card manager thinks the card is with

cardctl ident

I get
=======================================
[root at william pcmcia]# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE", "Version 01.01", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)
=======================================

(2) See if there is an appropriate entry for this card in /etc/pcmcia/config
(noting that this reads other files *.conf at the end).
Edit the entry if it is wrong,
or add an entry if there really is none, eg
======================================
card "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter"
  version "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE"
  bind "orinoco_cs"
======================================
