If you're ADDING the Orinoco card during sleep, then you will get a 
kernel panic. You could keep the Orinoco card in the cardbus slot 
when starting up at work, even though you're not using it.

Here is what I do, and it works reliably.

At the old location:
Switch to a network location that is PPP (dial up) only, using the 
built-in modem (thus, the machine never sees the removal of an 
interface device)
Sleep the PowerBook
Remove the Orinoco card

After arriving at the new location:
Insert the Orinoco card
Wake the PowerBook
Switch to the proper Network location
If this new location is home/wireless, open the Wireless Prefs pane 
and connect to your wireless network

FruitMenu enables very easy location switching in the Apple menu. $7

Or, as Rob says, upgrade to 10.2 when it's available.
