I don't have much to specifically advise you on this Orinoco issue, but...

In case you weren't aware, the tainted flag above signifies that your kernel
is using binary-only (or at least, non-compatible licensed-) drivers, which
means that the kernel-developers are probably going to have a hard time
helping track this down (since they don't have source for driver).
They'll probably ask if you can reproduce it in scenarios when your kernel
is not tainted (it stays so till reboot: check with
'cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted')
Sorry I can't be of more help, and take care,
Daniel
