Wireless - D-Link DWL650

I'm having trouble getting a D-Link DWL 650 working on an ancient IBM i1720. I've got Fedora 1, with the stock 2.4.22 kernel,  and I get a couple of errors when cardmgr starts (or is restarted). The machine's got a TI cardbus bridge and an Intel PCI bridge. 

I'm not sure this card can work on the setup. I found a web page that says it should, with the orinoco driver. The details are below. I tried out a friend's Dell cardbus and it was recognized just fine. 

Many thanks for any help.

Here's the entry in /etc/pcmcia/config, which I had to write in

card "D-Link DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP ISL370101P-10 A3"
     manfid 0x000b, 0x7110
     bind "orinoco_cs"
---
And from /var/log/messages:

product info: "D-Link", "DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP", "ISL370101P-10" "A3"

---
And the result:
