Below are the messages from dmesg, /var/log/syslog, and 'ifconfig -a'.  
As far as I can tell the card is being recognized as a wifi card, but 
does not work.  In contrast, I've been able to get a netgear PCMCIA 
wifi card to work just fine.  But then the Netgear card uses the 
orinoco driver.

Any thoughts?
