They are the same AFAIK.

I've got two Orinoco Silver cards running in two machines both running 4.2
RELEASE.  One machine is a desktop (P90) with an ISA adapter card.  This
system functions as a router (my gateway between the wired and wireless LAN). 
The second is a laptop.

Does dmesg show the cards being detected during the boot process?  For example:

pccard: card inserted, slot 0
wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 5 slot 0 on pccard0
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:60:1d:1e:af:90
