This should be supported by orinoco_plx.

But this is a different device, which needs Prism54 drivers (there are
many of them, and I don't know the details).  It is not supported by
either HostAP or Orinoco.

Please see the kernel messages.  They are shown by the "dmesg" command.
You should be able to see the firmware version of the card and the
version of the Orinoco driver.

I think some old Orinoco drivers could mistake Prism chipset for Lucent
for certain firmware versions.  That would make some operations fail.

Please always provide version of all involved software.  In this case,
versions of the drivers, kernel and wireless tools may be relevant.
