Re: Orinoco WiFi card

It looks like a regression which happens sometimes for an older and 
rarely used hardware.The driver is no longer under active development 
(http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/orinoco/), so you should contact 
the maintainer of the driver and hopefully they will have time and 
needed hardware to fix it.
