So I take it that you recommend staying with the kernel-delivered
version of the orinoco-driver?

Do you think "downgrading" the firmware (if possible at all) would be
a sensible solution / approach to this problem? Right now it is kind
of sub-optimal to have no connectivity at all under linux.

Or would it be more prudent to "sit'n'wait" until some newer version
of the driver / kernel will solve this problem?

Thanks again for any sense-making advice,

        Thomas
