Newb going mad!!!

I've installed Knoppx 3.3 to the HD and have tried to get my Linksys WPC11, v3 working on my Toshiba Libretto L2 but to no avail. I'm very new to this stuff and the forum searches haven't helped too much. modprobe shows the orinoco drivers loaded, but I don't think the system is detecting the PCMCIA card. The only network device that shows is the built in nic. Ideas on where to start?
