My understanding is that the orinoco_driver set of PCMCIA IDs is
exported to allow auto-detection of those devices as belonging to
orinoco_cs.  IOW, if a device with an ID in orinoco_driver is
hotplugged, orinoco_cs will automatically be loaded to support this
device.  Devices in orinoco_overlap_driver are also (theoretically)
supported by hostap, and thus not advertised as orinoco_cs supported.
So for those devices, a manual modprobe must be done.  For those
devices, the first call to pcmcia_register_driver will fail, and then
the driver retries with orinoco_overlap_driver.  Are there any known
instances where the change from >= to != would cause a failure?  I'm
rebuilding a kernel package now to test on a couple of systems with
orinoco wireless cards.  I don't have any hostap+orinoco cards to test
with.
