Sounds like the orinoco usb drivers can't handle high load. Doesn't surprise me, the support for them is very patchy: They only worked, at all, in very recent CVS versions of the drivers. Personally I've had poor luck with the 0.15 chain of the drivers, they seem to be a lot more unstable than the 0.13 chain. (This is probably why they're still under development, instead of a full release).
