(1) What exactly do you mean by "connected"?
I've neve had any problem with any of my Orinoco cards 
(over several years) in connecting.
My only problem has been with NM
(and with various Linux wizards).

(2) What do you mean by "fully updated"?
What version firmware are you using,
as shown in /var/log/dmesg ?
Mine says
eth0: Firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 6.04
