I have a similar, but not the same...
...problem with an older PC card sleeve I bought back in February 2001 AND my old iPAQ 3630 running the PPC 2002 OS OR my newer iPAQ 3835, when I tried to use my ORiNOCO Silver card. The connection was flakey as h*** or would simply not work... I tried my brothers newer PC card sleeve, bought in October of 2001, and it worked like a champ... I have seen others, on other forums, report similar problems with older PC card sleeves and the PPC 2002 OS on iPAQs. In my case the sleeve (Model 173396-001) Serial Number is 4G11DWXXXXXX, indicating it was built in January 2001. I don't know the Serial Number/Manufacture date of my brothers PC card sleeve...
I now, occasionally, use my Silver card with my iPAQ 3835 using the Semson's CF-to-PC card adapter and run security scans with Mini-Stumbler. It works very well. Normally I use a D-Link DCF-650W (CF form factor) card for wireless LAN and public internet access.
