Linux Noob Needs Help With Pcmcia Wifi

So I decided to finally enter the world of Linux by installing SUSE Linux 10.1 on my Thinkpad T21. The installation went fine except for the WiFi PCMCIA card, which is a Lucent Technologies Orinoco Gold.

From dmesg:

<blockquote>

I visited the page on kernel.org, but it very quickly went over my head.

I'd appreciate any help...

Thx!
