That was me. And it turns out I just solved this problem -- I figured, hmmm,
maybe there's *not* so much special. And in fact, the orinoco_pci driver
works fine when told about 3872. Just apply the following trivial patch, and
poof, orinoco_pci will load (and work). I've sent this to the driver
maintainer, and he's applied it, so it should get in the main kernel
eventually. Until then:
