Don't have the solution, but I noticed the same problem with the Entarsys 
802.11b card. Using 64-bit encryption with Orinoc software, I could not make it 
access my Airport Base Station, while my (true) Orinoco (lucent) card, my 
proxim sykline wifi cards & my Airport card work just fine. Unencrypted the 
Entarsys works great.
