I have not tried it, but I suspect that you can ether create a file in /etc/modprobe.d or an entry in /etc/modprobe.conf with something like: blacklist orinoco_cs to stop it from being loaded automatically. You will have to run depmod after making the change in order for it to take affect. (This is also done when you reboot...)
