I did not set the channel explicitly. Is it necessary?

I did a complete debug-run of the first of the two cards (The second
will come this week, I have not access all the time). You can
find it at

  http://www.ufc.uni-dortmund.de/~thomas/iwconfig-init-thomas

There are some linkstatus-events generated by the card (If I read
the sources right, the f200-events are linkstatus-events). These events
were generated on both cards. Has someone extended the function
__orinoco_ev_info in orinoco.c to show the different linkstatus
events?

Yours,
Thomas
