I just received a call from Orinoco regarding this problem. The upshot is the the Orinoco card in pci adapter will not work in the Dell model I am working with (Optiplex GX240). The reason given is that becasue the pci slots are on a riser, rather than on the system board itself, there is an insurmoutable latency problem. This seems to be common with many Dell models similarly designed.
The Orinoco tech suggested trying their usb version. Hope this saves some folks some time.
