Wow. Now that is a bug report with some good information to work with.

Lets see if we can whip up a wpasupplicant package (which i plan to request for upload this weekend anyway) with the fix/patch applied. Would you be willing to test it out before it hits the actual archive? I do not have orinoco hardware (and I don't think Reinhard does either).
