Lucent/Orinoco pcmcia in TI cardreader not working

I am trying to get a Lucent/Orinoco Silver card working. This card has the prism2 chipset. For the pci-pcmcia adapter I am using a reader with a Texas Instruments chipset which is on the HCL tested list. I am using Astaro 4.0. When I put this card in Astaro recognizes it and shows it in the device list but when i put it in AP mode and set all the settings and then try to bring it up it will not go up. When clicking on the red light to bring the device up the light turns to green but the status remains "Down" I have tried restarting Astaro and putting the pci portion of the reader into different pci slots in the computer with no luck. Here is a copy/paste of the row for the wireless nic:

Down   wireless (WaveLAN Access Point)
on wlan0 (WaveLan hardware prism2 chipset )   ???.???.???.??? / ???.???.???.???
Gateway: none   edit
delete

Even though this is showing the ip info as ???'s I have set all these options.

Any ideas??

Lucent/Orinico cards use the Hermes chipset, not the prism2

I just tried a netgear ma401 which is prism2 and it still doesn't work. Same problem - cant bring the card up. I also tried a Senao 2511CD. I'm not sure what chipset it has but it was Astaro did not even recognize it.
