This could also fall on the pcmcia package. The Orinoco Card has to be inserted twice to be detected.    Upon detection two devices are created: wifi0 and wlan0.  Wifi0 detects the wrong MAC address.  The only way to get the card working is to delete any reference in /etc/network/interfaces and reboot the computer. The wlan0 interface can then be brought up with the "iwconfig wlan0 essid any" command and ten dhclient wlan0. It reports the MAC of the Access Point incorrectly. 
Syslog then starts recording:
