That's a really sorta odd thing to be adding if you intend to use linix-wlan-ng as the driver for this card. orinoco_cs is the in-kernel pcmcia driver for orinoco cards. For a USB card and linux-wlan-ng, I'd expect to see prism2_usb there. But, er, why would it be added here at all, if the card is a USB, and not a PCMCIA card?
