I'm not very familiar with Orinoco, but probably it is a 
firmware-related problem. Try changing firmware on the card or the AP.

I successfully used it in my WISP gateway and a Buffalo PCI-PCMCIA adapter, communicating to a D-Link Wireless Broadband Router DI-614+. In lab environment, there's no packet loss, no error messages and high sinal level.

I set the right IP/Netmask/default gateway/ESSID; the wireless card detects the AP's MAC and some signal level, but I can't ping to any host, except netcs0, eth0 and local interfaces. In the AP, the MAC of this wireless card was correctly associated to its IP and the access was granted.
