Did you look at /etc/modules to see if the orinoco drivers are listed
there. The /etc/modules file is processed before discover runs giving
them priority over the ones that discover prefers to load.
For modules you want loaded during the boot process this provides a
simple mechanism to list modules you want loaded in addition to or
instead of the ones loaded by discover.
