It's about to get more so.

The diff needs to be applied to a certain version of pcmcia-cs, so first you 
need to get pcmcia-cs (pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net).

cd /usr/src
tar -xvzf /path/to/pcmcia-cs-xxxxx.tar.gz
cd pcmcia-cs-version-number
patch < /path/to/orinoco-09b-packet-1.diff
make config
make all
make install

That gets you the gist.  I don't guarantee that those are the only steps you'll 
need.  I'm running RH8, but have to rebuild the kernel myself since the kernel 
pcmcia support doesn't work with my laptop.
