The Orinoco driver included in this kernel version does not support WPA.

Support for WPA (specifically WPA1+TKIP) was first included in this
driver at Linux 2.6.28.  Firmware from userspace is also required.

See http://wiki.debian.org/orinoco for more information.  This is not a
wpa_supplicant issue.
