I think you may be mistaken. The orinoco drivers in the upstream
kernel seem to support all the same device IDs as are supported
in the linux-wlan code. If your card is missing, it is likely a
simple matter of a missing device ID. But, major code changes are
probably not necessary. (USB-based devices may be an exception....see
http://www.nongnu.org/orinoco/ for experimental support.)

Please don't encourage people to patronize dead projects when the
upstream kernel should work for them.
Thanks,
