That did it. I enabled CONFIG_ISA and now it seems to properly detect
and load the module for my card at boot. The only problem now is that
when it does it, it hardlocks the system. This is the entry in 
/var/log/messages:

The same thing happens if I use the kernel's orinoco_cs driver. Any idea
what's still missing?
