You would be better off using a released (ie. non-rc) 2.6.28 kernel, which can
be acquired through a Debian kernel snapshot package for your system. This is
described in the "orinoco" Debian Wiki page previously mentioned to you.

Why are you specifying these options? The version of wpa_supplicant in Lenny
(0.6.4) does not require ap_scan=2, this is only necessary for wpa_supplicant
versions <= 0.5.7 with the orinoco driver. Also, ctrl_interface_group is
deprecated. These configuration options should be removed unless absolutely
required.
Please try using a 2.6.28 kernel image from kernel-archive.buildserver.net and
ensure you have acquired and installed the necessary Agere station firmware
(agere_sta_fw.bin). Refer to the orinoco page on the Debian Wiki for
instructions.
At the very least, verify "WPA-PSK supported" is shown in the kernel ring
buffer (dmesg) after loading the orinoco driver.
