Don't do this.

Here's a list of things you did that you should not do:

You are trying to use the orinoco module from an out of date pcmcia-cs
package.  You ignored compilation warnings and tried to "install" the
modules by hand.  You did not copy the full set of orinoco modules
(hermes, orinoco, orinoco_cs), and you put them in the wrong place
(you should use "make install").

Before you tried to do all this, you already had an orinoco driver
provided by the 2.4.18-rmk3 kernel tree, that might have been a newer
release than the one you tried to install.  Perhaps you should
describe why you tried this "update" in the first place?
