Lucent probably changed the card id in the CIS.  The existing entry in the
pccard.conf file is:

# Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
        config  0x1 "wi0" ?
        insert  logger -t pccard:$device -s WaveLAN/IEEE inserted
        insert  /etc/pccard_ether $device
        remove  logger -t pccard:$device -s WaveLAN/IEEE removed
        remove  /sbin/ifconfig $device delete

Poke the card in your system, do a pccardc dumpcis, and edit the above entry
to match the two ID strings, probably something like "Orinoco/IEEE" at a
guess.
