Just a note to say I have what sounds like the same problem,
with an Orinoco Classic Gold Card on my laptop.
It is running currently under kernel 2.6.23.12-52.fc7
but it does not connect under Fedora-8, under any kernel.
I'm not running NetworkManager.

The symptom is that the laptop sends a DHCPREQUEST to the desktop
which responds with a DHCPACK,
but there is no record of the laptop receiving the latter.


I'll add a note to the bug if there is one.
