Now, having reset everything I can't get in at all any more.
Trying to do this step by step:
1.) Setting up the AP for the simplest secure method
essid: cjp
channel: 12
power: 100%
mode: 802.11b
802.11g++: inactive
WEP encryption: on
WEP key length: 64
WEP key 1: 3132333435 (s:12345)
2.) I can get in with the ipw3945 with Network Manager as well as manual.
3.) Setting up the Sony / ORiNOCO
a) YaST/Network Devices/Network Card/Global Options
Traditional Method with ifup: checked
Enable IPv6: unchecked
Request Broadcast Response: unchecked
DHCP Client Identifier: blank
Hostname to Send: AUTO
b) Overview
Sony 82801 BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller IP 192.168.0.100
PCMCIA Lucent Orinoco, Prism II based, and similar... IP 192.168.0.50
c) Hostname/DNS
Hostname: workstation1l
Domain Name: ac
Write Hostname to /etc/hosts: checked
Name Server1: 192.168.0.1
Domain Search: ac
d) Routing
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Enable IP Forwarding: checked
4.) Network Card Setup
a) General
Device Activation: Manually
Firewall Zone: Internal Zone(unprotected)
Enable ... Kinternet: unchecked
Set MTU:1500(Ethernet,DSL broadband)
b) Address
Statically assigned IP Address:checked
IP Address: 192.168.0.50
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
c) Hardware
Manual Network Card Configuration:checked ( can't be turned off ??? )
Configuration Name: wlan-id-00:02:2d:5c:f5:ef
Hardware Name: bus-pcmcia-1.0
Hardware Configuration Name: bus-pcmcia-1.0
Module Name: orinoco_cs
Options: blank
pressing NEXT
d) Wireless Device Settings
Operating Mode: Managed
Network Name(ESSID): cjp
Authentication Mode: Open
Key Input Type: ASCII
Encryption Key: 12345
pressing WEP KEYS
e) Wireless Keys
Key Length: preset to 104, trying to change it offers a drop down list with
options 64,128,104 ( this is Bug 249709 ), changing to 64 for now.
Finishing Network settings.
4.) Checking YaST/System/etc/sysconfig Editor
a) Hardware/Newtwork/wlan-id-00:02:2d:5c:f5:ef
BOOTPROTO: static
BROADCAST: blank
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS: blank
IFPLUGD_PRIORITY: 10
IPADDR:192.168.0.50/24
MTU: 1500
NAME: PCMCIA Lucent Orinoco, Prism II based, and similar wireless cards
NETMASK: blank
NETWORK: blank
REMOTE_IPADDR: blank
STARTMODE: manual
UNIQUE:BnC0.jpmKAVAATH5
USERCONTROL:no
WIRELESS_AP: blank
WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE: open
WIRELESS_BITRATE: 11
WIRELESS_CA_CERT: blank
WIRELESS_CHANNEL: 12
WIRELESS_CLIENT_CERT: blank
WIRELESS_CLIENT_KEY: blank
WIRELESS_CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD: blank
WIRELESS_DEFAULT_KEY: blank
WIRELESS_EAP_AUTH: blank
WIRELESS_EAP_MODE: blank
WIRELESS_ESSID: cjp
WIRELESS_FREQUENCY: blank
WIRELESS_KEY: blank
WIRELESS_KEY_0: s:12345
WIRELESS_KEY_1: blank
WIRELESS_KEY_2: blank
WIRELESS_KEY_3: blank
WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH: 104 ( this should be 40 from step 3e ) seting it to
40
WIRELESS_MODE: Managed
WIRELESS_NICK: blank
WIRELESS_NWID: blank
WIRELESS_PEAP_VERSION: blank
WIRELESS_POWER: yes
WIRELESS_WPA_ANONID: blank
WIRELESS_WPA_IDENTITY: blank
WIRELESS_WPA_PASSWORD: blank
WIRELESS_WPA_PSK: blank
_nm_name: bus-pcmcia-1.0
Saving results, only change WEP_KEY_LENGTH
5. Open a Terminal as root

After ifup eth1 you would expect the Wireless card to be set to the values
entered above, wouldn't you ?
workstation1l:/home/cjp # iwconfig eth1
Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 21.

Now ESSID, Mode, Encryption key and Security mode are set correctly, while Bit
Rate is 2 instead of 11 ( is this correct ?? or will it be negotiated with the
AP later ?? )
e)
OK now let's try to browse someplace, like 192.168.0.2, which is the interface
of the AP. Nope 404.
Try to renew the IP address, not really, but I hope the binding is redone ??.
workstation1l:/home/cjp # ifrenew eth1
eth1
eth1 configuration: wlan-id-00:02:2d:5c:f5:ef

Doesn't look too good either...
f)
workstation1l:/home/cjp # ifstatus eth1
eth1
eth1 configuration: wlan-id-00:02:2d:5c:f5:ef
eth1 is up
