Now I can see, that this combination *should* theoreticaly work with
orinoco-usb, not prism-usb driver from orinoco-cvs HEAD branch :-) I
view source of prism-usb and there is no ezusb support. But
orinoco-usb will still support this card with prism card inside,
because orinoco-usb support pcmcia-usb bridge and it use orinoco.c.

In orinoco.c I can find:

* A driver for Hermes or Prism 2 chipset based PCMCIA wireless
 * adaptors, with Lucent/Agere, Intersil or Symbol firmware.

 So, orinoco-usb should still support card after changing pcmcia from
 hermes-I to Prism - is it right? :-)
