There's a problem that I experienced that may be the same one you are
seeing. It affects the "Orinoco" or "Prism2" based cards. The solution I
found is to do:
sudo modprobe -r orinoco_pci
sudo modprobe -r hostap_pci
sudo modprobe -r prism2_pci
sudo modprobe orinoco_pci
After that, my card works. Until this is fixed, you can hack up
your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file to add:
blacklist prism2_pci
The bug report is here:
