Just installed Arjan's 2.6.0-0.test7.1.56 kernel and I get the same
behavior, output for /var/log/messages when I insert the pcmcia card:
Oct 15 01:15:14 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: socket 0: 11 Mbps Wireless PC
Card
Oct 15 01:15:14 suburbia kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff:
clean.
Oct 15 01:15:14 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: executing: 'modprobe hermes'
Oct 15 01:15:14 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: executing: 'modprobe orinoco'
Oct 15 01:15:14 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: executing: 'modprobe orinoco_cs'
Oct 15 01:15:14 suburbia kernel: ds: unable to create instance of
'orinoco_cs'!
Oct 15 01:15:14 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: bind 'orinoco_cs' to socket 0
failed: No such device

when I remove the card, I get the following:
Oct 15 01:15:54 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: executing: 'modprobe -r
orinoco_cs'
Oct 15 01:15:54 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: executing: 'modprobe -r orinoco'
Oct 15 01:15:54 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: + FATAL: Module orinoco is not
in kernel.
Oct 15 01:15:54 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: modprobe exited with status 1
Oct 15 01:15:54 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: executing: 'modprobe -r hermes'
Oct 15 01:15:54 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: + FATAL: Module hermes is not in
kernel.
Oct 15 01:15:54 suburbia cardmgr[3200]: modprobe exited with status 1
