Simply running 'iwconfig' should allow you to unambiguously identify which interface name corresponds to the card. I suspect, though, that it won't make every difference. scanning isn't universally supported in drivers, I believe. The orinoco driver may not support it. Indeed, a moderately authoritative discussion of linux wireless stuff (at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Orinoco.html) suggests that the patches necessary for scanning support aren't in the mainline kernel.
