hotplug is key here.  I have not done orinco yet byt Thomas has been
making nice efforts to enable it.

  See here:
  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html

  or (slghtly newer today)
  http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-tune.en.html

For this matter, I was a student of Thomas who wrote this chapter and
filed all the bug report to make everything work with
/etc/network/interfaces :-)
