Trouble with orinoco_cs -- ignore_cis_vcc=1

Hi,

I'm having problems getting an Agere card working on Debian, kernel
2.6.10. The card is a PC24E-11-PC/R model.  It should work with with
the orinoco_cs driver but so far it's a no go. Unless I'm mistaken the
card has a Prism type chipset.

At first I was having problems with messages saying there was no high
memory available. So I looked at the messages log and saw where the
system was reporting 0MB high memory available and 255MB low memory
available, with some addresses of unused memory. So I added a line to
config.opts to use some of the free mem:

include memory 0xe0010000-0xefff0000

That cleared up the memory issues and I stopped getting that message
in the log.  Now I get these :

/var/log/messages: 

Apr 27 23:53:33 contellation kernel: orinoco_cs: GetFirstTuple: No more items

dmesg: 

No matching CIS configuration, maybe you need the ignore_cis_vcc=1 parameter.

So then I added this line to the config.opts file: 
module "orinoco_cs" opts "ignore_cis_vcc=1"

Still didn't work. (I keep getting one high beep then one low beep
when I insert the card)

The Agere card label indicates that the card will work at 3.3V, 5V, and 16V. 

So then I tried "modprobe orinoco_cs ignore_cis_vcc=1" and that
doesn't work either.  I didn't reboot after any of those changes. (Is
that necessary?)

I tried stopping the pcmcia service, inserting the card, then starting
the service. No go either.

Here's the "cardctl ident" output: 

Socket 1:
  product info: "Wireless", "WLAN PC Card", "Version 01.01", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)

I have this in my /etc/pcmcia/config file: 

card "Agere PC24E-11-FC/R 802.11AB"
  version "Wireless", "WLAN PC CARD"
  bind "orinoco_cs"

Here's a lspci -vv dump below. Any ideas what's wrong?
