Since in both devices (my i8k and the airport) orinoco cards are used, I
thought, I'm on the right place. ;)

iwconfig shows me the rates from 1MB up to 11MBs. Depending on the
distance to the airport. - This seems to work correctly.
Anyway, that is brutto, netto it should be about 1MB/s when I'm near to
the router.
(Right now, I am in basement with five walls between me and the router;
and this is the output of iwconfig:
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.452GHz Access Point:
Bit Rate:2Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:3/3
Link Quality:13/92 Signal level:-83 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm
on the ground-floor - three walls between:
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.452GHz Access Point:
Bit Rate:5.5Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:3/3
Retry limit:4 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:2347 B
Link Quality:17/92 Signal level:-79 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm
As you can see, the Bit Rate works correctly.
Even when I'm close to the router, the Link Quality is never better
then 50/92.)
Yesterday I tried to compile the new pcmcia-cs from sourceforge.
Unfortunately the new package isn't working. It compiles without errors,
but when I stick the card into the dell, I get errors and the module
orinoco_cs won't load.
(card services don't match).
I also upgraded the nessesary debian-packages. - Without any change in
behavior.

No. Do you have a link for me?
