if you have the module that you need on your system and you are able to 
get the card to work by rmmod and modprobe, then you can create a udev 
rule for it.

this is from an email I sent out a few weeks ago - the exact parameters 
(and module names) will not be correct, but it is an example of how to 
create a udev rule.

orinoco_cs, orinoco, hermes))
