Without knowing exactly what you regard "all the statistics as" it is
hard to answer that question. The orinoco driver is wireless extensions
compatible and using the wireless extensions utilities such as iwspy/
iwconfig you can get many statistics about the cards operation including
signal / noise strength of received packets, number of retries, number
of corrupted packets etc.
Are these the statistics you are interested in?

I don't believe the actual hardware specifications are available unless
you are willing to talk to agere and sign an NDA, however there are
plenty of consumer datasheets floating around that tell you most of the
important operational characteristics of the card.
The dump_rids utility from the hostap distribution might be interesting
in terms of what seeing what information the card holds.
Hope that helps.
