OK, looks like you're using a newer wpa_supplicant that tries to use
IW_AUTH_MFP which orinoco doesn't know about. I can modify the driver
to silently pass these calls through, but it would be nice if
wpa_supplicant didn't fail because a driver didn't support a
particular option.

I'll put together a patch to accept an IW_AUTH_MFP call set to NONE or
DISABLED, and fail on REQUIRED. In the meantime you could try use an
older wpa_supplicant. I think I was using 0.7.2 before, but I can't be
sure.
