About the Orinoco driver GOOD ADVICE

ifconfig eth1 hw ether 01:23:45:67:89:ab

This only works when the interface is down.

Maybe it thinks that it's another computer and it doesn't allow the 
"second" computer to use the connection.

This maybe a very hard problem to figure out, especially without 
cooperation from the ISP.  If you trace all the data, you can probably 
spot the difference.

Maybe you should use dhcpcd and specify parameters "vendorClassID" and 
"clientID" (see "man dhcpcd" for details).

Anyway, I don't think I can help you with this problem.
