You said you are using SUSE 10.0. So i wonder why it tries to load all
the modules. Have a look into /etc/modprobe.d/prism2. There we
blacklist all orinoco*, hostap* and prism2* modules (==> they won't be
loaded via /lib/modules/*/modules.alias). Then we manually added alias
lines for devices we know.
Maybe this is what you are looking for.
