I think you shouldn't change wireless.h in the kernel sources.  If you do,
then you probably should recompile the kernel.

Stick with whatever version of wireless extension your kernel comes with.  
Recompile wireless tools against the kernel sources.  Make sure your
/usr/local/asm and /usr/local/linux point to your current kernel sources.

You didn't mention the version of Wireless Tools.  Make sure it's the
latest version.  And by the way, what's the version of wireless extensions
in 2.2.20 kernel?  Not everybody will download many megabytes just to
check something that you can trivially find out (although I often do 
exactly that when I'm in the office).

The latest version of the Orinoco driver is 0.11b.  It's included with the 
latest beta of pcmcia-cs, which works just fine for me.  I haven't seen 
problems like yours in the older drivers, but if it's driver related 
(e.g. compatibility with 2.2.x kernels), your time is better spent 
testing the current driver.
