6.1 (#8872) ORiNOCO USB loses connection after several minutes
On PCs that use an OHCI USB Host Controller, the network
connection is lost several minutes after it is established.
Note: this problem applies to Windows XP only and does not
occur on so-called UHCI controllers. The USB controller type
can be found in Settings->Control Panel->System->Hardware->
Device Manager->Universal Serial Bus Controller.
6.2 (#8773) ORiNOCO USB in peer to peer mode hangs in some occasions
In Peer to Peer connection between an ORiNOCO USB station and
another wireless station using WEP encryption, the communication
stops after several MByte transmission. This situation does not
appear without WEP communication.
