I use a Tecra 8000, RedHat 7.2, and an orinoco Gold Card form Lucent
(Which uses, As I recall, the same chipset as the card you have). It
works. No extra RPMS, just some configuration in
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts.

edit /etc/inittab, changing the line reading 
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:

uname -a

Hope this helps, YMMV, etc, etc...
