It's fixed in the 0.15 release.

It should be working fine. If it doesn't, please report the problem with more
details (especially kernel log messages).

Please try the same with orinoco-0.15 if it's not working for you.

The problem with pcmcia_dev_present in the recent kernels is that its return
value is interpreted incorrectly in spectrum_cs. This problem is specific to
spectrum_cs.
The problem with orinoco 0.15 has not been reported yet, so I cannot make any
conclusions before I see a detailed report.
