Bug Description

Dapper installer detects my Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco Silver card in its ISA-slot adapter and allows me to use it to download packages from the internet.
The resulting install does not detect the card.

Using the CDROM in recovery mode and dumping out to busybox, I can see the card detection in /var/log/syslog

hw-detect: Detected PCMCIA, installing pcmcia-cs.
apt-install: Queueing package pcmcia-cs for later installation
hw-detect: Detected PCMCIA and no cardmgr, installing pcmciautils.

Booting into dapper there is no mention of it in dmesg.
orinoco, orinoco_cs, pcmcia, pcmcia_core have been added to /etc/modules

Except that under normal boot it does not even detect my CardBus device at all.
Only the installer from CDROM detects and uses it, using hw-detect which is not available as an install package, only as unstable source.

This is an old ISA Slot PCMCIA adapter and does not appear under lspci even when working under the installer.
