I ran into a very similar problem to the one described above. A few seconds after plugging in or enabling my IBM High Rate Wireless LAN card, it would hang. NetStumbler would not quit, but it would report an "ORiNOCO error 0005." Also, the Properties window for the wireless card in MS Windows did not show the "Wireless" tab so it was not possible to list access points, or to associate with an access point.
I tried two versions of the IBM High Rate Wireless LAN card: Lucent and Agere. The same problem happened with both of them.
A colleage of mine showed me the solution:
1. If the Wireless Zero Configuration service is not running, start it. If it's running, stop it and then restart it.
2. Disable the wireless card.
3. Re-enable the wireless card.
Now the card is working fine again.
