Check the log messages. I have similiar problem with orinoco_cs driver. The orinoco gold (WaveLAN Turbo 11 Mbps) works fine with all versions of Windows - XP, ME, 2000, Win98) but not with Bering's orinoco_cs. For some reasons, the orinoco_cs can't access the card correctly. It can't get the Mac address from the firmware. I have tried most of the orinoco firmware - 6.x - 8.x (which is the latest). I still got the same result. I can't complain to Lucent (Agrere) because it works fine with Windows.
