Addtron AWP-100, orinoco_cs, RH 7.2, WEP

On my fully up2date RH7.2 laptop, I've added /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf and
upgraded firmware to 8c3, my Addtron AWP-100 works nicely, except for WEP.
Hence my posting here.

Obviously, using a newer orinoco_cs might help, but I'd kind of like to hear
from someone who has WEP working on a Prism2 chipset before I sink the time
into rolling my own kernel.

Does anyone on a Prism2 chipset have WEP working?
Does anyone using an Addtron AWP-100 have WEP working?
Are any tricks to getting it working?
Is there (heresy!) a RPM binary version compatible with RH's 2.4.9-21?
Did I overlook a FAQ?

(I'm not averse to using wlan-ng, nor rolling my own kernel, I just can't
sink the time into doing that this week. Right now, it's not a toy, it's
just a tool.)
