Hm, seems like the orinoco interface does not include the strings 802.11, READY or ESSID, right? What does 'ifconfig eth1' (if eth1 matches your orinoco card) look like?

Upps, I meant iwconfig of course, sorry.
Make sure that /etc/default/wpasupplicant contains the right settings like:
OPTIONS="-Dwext -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
Then check the setup in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. (Re)start wpasupplicant running 'Restart wpasupplicant' and run 'dhclient ath0' afterwards. And of course: Take a look at the syslog (run 'tlog' to watch it).
Restarting wpa_supplicant: Initializing interface 'ath0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'wext' Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
Ok.

Ouch.
Unfortunately wpa_supplicant says that operation is not supported. I attached my syslog for further investigations. I also set in /etc/modutils/options:
options ath_pci countrycode=040
but this didn't help either. Have you got another idea?
Are you sure that you provide the right key/passphrase? Take a look at 'wpa_passphrase ssid1 key_foobar'. And some more configuration examples can be found in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/wpa_supplicant.conf.gz Also give it a try with your orinoco card.
BTW: I saved my configuration to an USB stick with save-config and this work quite well, but it's annoying to type `grml video=vesafb:ypan,1400x1050-32@60 lang=at myconfig=/dev/sda' all time. I read about bootparams directory, but I don't want to change my iso. Is it also possible to save the boot options to the stick for an automated start?
As video=... is an option for the kernel and isn't related to any userland tools we could manage inside (a running) grml system you would have to modify the isolinux.cfg file in boot/isolinux/, sorry.
