Make sure the orinoco modules are installed, and it should work out
the box. At least mine was detected automatically and setup with the
default familiar 0.8.1. Of course if need encryption setup that is an
extra step with iwconfig or changing /etc/network/interfaces.

PS: Once you setup the card could you try transferring a very large
file and see if you get the following errors:
