Wireless problem after update

Hi.

I am using an orinoco gold pcmcia card to connect to my university's 
wireless network. In order to make it work with the encryption, I have 
to download the latest version of the orinoco driver (0.15rc2) and 
compile it.  I had no trouble doing this in FC2 and FC3 until yesterday. 
Yesterday I did an update everything using up2date, and since then I can 
not connect to the network. I use xsupplicant and when I do "dhclient 
eth1" I  obtain an ip address, and it seems like I am connected to the 
network, but nothing goes through. If I do iwconfig, I can see that I 
get also a key.
I have no trouble using the wired connection. I tried to stop iptables, 
but this didn't help.
Do you have any idea?

Thank you,
Marius
