Booting 2.5.47 on a Fujitsu B110 laptop, 233 Pentium MMX, Yenta interface, I get this trace below. It worked correctly under 2.5.43.

David Gibson is the maintainer of Orinoco.
But, to be fair, it looks like a module issue or generic
Pcmcia issue because the modules fails even before beeing loaded, so it's hard to blame the modules. I don't know who is the *real* maintainer of Pcmcia in 2.5.X, and for modules issues just look around on LKML.
Note that with 2.5.X, it's normal for the "insmod" of Pcmcia
modules to fail, but "modprobe" should pick properly the modules where they are. Make sure the modules exist in /lib/modules/...

I'm compiling 2.5.47 to get the latest IRDA bits.
The individual patches are available on my web page, so you
can upgrade your older kernel.
