That's just an option you can pass to modprobe. See the man page. You can
get a list of a module's parameters with "modinfo".

modinfo orinoco_cs

returns a block with three parm: lines (on my x86 box), the last one is
ignore_cis_vcc and it takes an integer argument.

modprobe orinoco_cs ignore_cis_vcc=1

might get it to work, then.
