Might very well be that. As you can see, I use orinoco 0.13e. I had problems
with earlier versions (those comming with various kernel versions). See:

  http://ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/

for a more recent hermes/orinoco driver.

(this one needs 0.13e)

card "D-Link DWL-650"
  version "D", "Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card"
  manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
  bind "orinoco_cs"

but this one (D-Link DWL-660):

card "Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter"
  manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
  bind "orinoco_cs"

is happy with 0.11b. YMMV.


Cheers,
Cristian
