Default Compaq WLAN W200 error - No Firmware to download

I'm trying to bring up the wireless card in a Compaq Evo n800c and I
think I have it all working except for a firmware download error.

I built the orinoco drivers from the CVS tree, added WLAN & USB support
to the kernel (2.6.5) and I can modprobe orinoco_usb and then lsmod to
see it loaded.

However when I hit Fn+F2 to turn it on and then look at:

tail /var/log/messages

I see an error:

usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using address 3
orinoco_usb: No firmware to download
orinoco_usb: probe of 2-3:1.0 failed with error -14

Anyone have any ideas?
