Any reason you're running such an old kernel?  If you look, you'll see
that almost every newer kernel has wireless updates.  I'd give it a try
w/ 2.4.24 or 2.6.1.

Also, the hermes.o is not the actual driver.  There'll be another driver
that depends on the hermes:
orinoco_cs              4808   1 
orinoco                31768   0  [orinoco_cs]
hermes                  5892   0  [orinoco_cs orinoco]
ds                      6888   1  [orinoco_cs]
yenta_socket           10112   1 
pcmcia_core            43296   0  [orinoco_cs ds yenta_socket]

You won't have the pcmcia_core, yenta_socket, or ds, and instead of
orinoco_cs you'll have something like orinoco_pci.

Ciao,
