I am also using an orinoco gold card and orinoco WAP, but I cannot get WEP working. Have you?
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts has to include the line similar to this:
KEY="s:abcdefghijklm"
Where abcdefghijklm is the String expression of the Key, not HEX. I entered the same into the WAP and voila! It's working fine. It took me a while to figure this out. I used 'makepasswd' to create a 13 character string for a password. It can be alphanumeric and caps are optional.
That was all I did for WEP.
run iwconfig as root/sudo and it will show you if the Encryption Key is being used.
