Description of problem:
On a Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop, I added the following lines to
/etc/pcmcia/config:

card "Intel PRO/Wireless 2011"
  manfid 0x0089, 0x0001
  bind "orinoco_cs"

after restarting the pcmcia service and inserting the card I get

# tail /var/log/messages

The wireless card works under Gentoo Linux (with an earlier version of
orinico_cs, 0.13b) on a Dell Inspiron 8200. The Dell Inspiron 7000
computer works fine with a xircom network card.
