you will need the orinoco drivers, since the MA401 is a Prism-based card. As an alternative you can use the hostap-drivers. IIRC there should be an orinoco module in the bf24 kernel; use "modconf" and read the documentation for pcmcia-cs. Maybe update to a newer 2.4.x kernel, e.g. with apt-get, with at least revision 0.13e of the driver. 0.13e was the first almost flawlessly working driver version for me...
