When the orinoco driver is loaded it will print out it's version and
some other information about the card. You can see these messages by
running the command 'dmesg' immediately after inserting your card. If
you are running 0.15rc1 you should see something like
orinoco 0.15rc1HEAD (David Gibson
<hermes-xT8FGy+AXnRB3Ne2BGzF6laj5H9X9Tb+@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Pavel
Roskin <proski-mXXj517/zsQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, et al)
orinoco_pci 0.15rc1HEAD (David Gibson
<hermes-xT8FGy+AXnRB3Ne2BGzF6laj5H9X9Tb+@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> &
Jean Tourrilhes <jt-sDzT885Ts8HQT0dZR+AlfA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>)
orinoco_pci: Detected PCI device 00:10.0, memory 0xa0000000-0xa0000fff,
irq 10
eth2: Hardware identity 8013:0000:0001:0000

To switch you need to make sure that the new orinoco drivers are in your
kernel modules directory (somewhere like /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/...) and
that you have run depmod after installing the modules. If you are
building the orinoco drivers yourself a make install from the build
directory should do all this for you *i think*.
Hope that helps.
