remember that you need to stop the network (service network stop). Then
start NetworkManager and the NetworkManagerDispatcher services. Fire up
your graphical desktop and start the NetworkManagerInfo application.

I have no idea if the right/latest orinoco_cs drivers are in FC4. Doing
a modinfo orinoco_cs doesn't give much of a clue. Today there was a post
on the fedora-test list that NetworkManager-0.5.0 for FC4 was released
for testing.
