Toshiba orinoco wireless lan card not working

I'm trying to get a "Toshiba Wireless LAN PC Card" model pa3064u-1pcc working in Gentoo. I'm pretty sure that this card is a rebadged orinoco silver. Indeed, it says 'Lucent PC24E-H-FC' on the back. I'm running 2.4.22 with the current pcmcia-cs package installed. My system is working fine with a different wireless lan card [Dlink DCF-660W in CF->PCMCIA covertor] which is a prism2 card with the wlan-ng drivers for that. I'm trying to use the orinoco_cs drivers with the Toshiba card.

With this toshiba card inserted.

#cardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "TOSHIBA", "Wireless LAN Card", "Version 01.01", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)

# lsmod
prism2_cs 68032 0 (unused)
p80211 17228 1 [prism2_cs]
ds 6952 1 [prism2_cs]
i82365 37792 1
pcmcia_core 47008 0 [prism2_cs ds i82365]

Now, this looks wrong to me. It seems that it's loaded the prism2_cs module instead of orinoco_cs module when the card is inserted.

Looking in /etc/pcmcia/config shows the following section:

card "Toshiba Wireless LAN PC Card"
version "TOSHIBA","Wireless LAN Card"
bind "orinoco_cs"

Can anyone help me with some advice to get this working? I think it's picking up the wrong module somehow.

tried unmergin and remerging pcmcia-cs? have you included the orinoco driver in the kernel?

Thanks for replying.

I'm not using the kernel mode orinoco driver. I'm using the one that should come with pcmcia-cs which I've re-emerged. I have noticed that orinoco_cs is not being build during emerge of pcmcia-cs.
