Ok, I ended up updating it anyway.  There is a "6.16" version under the
Orinoco directory.  It is now working nicely with the updated drivers for
Windows.  Thanks again!
The file is:
ftp://ftp.wavelan.com/pub/SOFTWARE/ORiNOCO/PC_Card/Firmware/R6.4winter2001/WSU_616.exe

If you just grab the driver (from .../PC_Card/your-os) it includes the firmware update files. (at least win98_ME driver does)

Also, should wiconfig be in /sbin instead of /usr/sbin?  I needed to add
the "wiconfig wi0 -p 1" on my laptop, but it doesn't work in netstart.local
due to /usr not being available.  Thus dhclient fails, then ypbind, etc. :(
Copying it to /sbin/wiconfig works if I relink it static.

FWIW, mine says:
fd20: 001f 0001 0006 0010

Allegedly the 6.16 version works on any Orinoco or WaveLAN/IEEE card, and
has a couple of interesting fixes.

3.1 Station Functions firmware v 6.16              Winter 2001

    The following problems have been solved:
    - Problems with Network Name ANY in Peer-to-Peer (IBSS) mode
      have been corrected.
    - Security with encryption in Peer-to-Peer (IBSS) mode has been
      improved. Previously, a connection could be set up between a
      station with encryption enabled and a station with encryption
      disabled and these stations would communicate in the clear.
      Note that a station that did not have encryption enabled with the
      correct key, could not intercept the (encrypted) data exchanged
      between stations with encryption enabled.
      Now the implementation is such that, with encryption enabled,
      the station will always encrypt the data. All stations need to
      have encryption enabled with the same key to be able to
      communicate in the same Peer-to-Peer (IBSS) network.

3.2 Station Functions firmware v 6.06                July 2000
    The following problems have been solved:
    - A hang problem in the Site Monitor function while the station
      is in Peer-to-Peer (IBSS) mode has been solved.
