Here I have the following device, which I think is the same one (?) and
orinoco_pci works fine:

joey:~>lspci |grep -i prism 
00:12.0 Network controller: Harris Semiconductor Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)

Also, linux-wlan-ng has a slight lack of a maintainer and no up-to-date
kernel modules right now, as well as needing its own special set of
userspace tools to configure it.
