Orinoco Gold uses an unsupported Hermes chipset.  HostAP requires
Prism2 chipset.  Support for the clone chipsets is very incomplete.
Besides, there is no HostAP mode in the Hermes chipset.

Please use Orinoco driver instead (http://www.nongnu.org/orinoco/).  It
works with Hermes, Spectrum24 Trilogy and Prism chipsets.  It doesn't
support master mode.

If you want AP functionality you could try HermesAP
(http://hunz.org/hermesap.html) or the Agere driver
(http://www.agere.com/support/drivers/), but neither was ported to 2.6
kernels yet.
