I'm not understanding the "buggy orinoco_cs driver". I use it with orinoco silver with a variety of access point and in Ad-Hoc mode and, yes! it works perfect! Excellent performance. The problem with orinoco_cs (IMHO) is Ad-Hoc mode with other fab cards (like prism2 cards). In this mode, the orinoco_cs not work well and the performance is terrible.
