It's most likely that everyone using Silvers will turn on WEP so correct me
if I'm wrong but I'd say the bronze wouldn't be able to talk to them in that
case.

I know the Silver's can't to to the Golds if the Gold's have their 128bit
WEP enabled. Everything is downwards compatible but not back the other way.

Disclaimer: I'm probably wrong :-p

Can anyone tell me if the WaveLAN IEEE Turbo Bronze card that I just got
hold of will work in a "Orinoco Silver" network? (or will it only "talk"
to another card of the same type)

I have had trouble finding any information on the card from the Lucent
site with the exception that they will not write Windows 2000 drivers
for it.  

I did manage to find mention on a "Apple Mac" site, and from that it
looks like the "turbo bronze" is a 8mb card? (I've never heard of 8mb)

- snip from the Apple page ---------------------

WaveLAN IEEE Standard (2Mb/s) and/or WaveLAN IEEE Turbo (8Mb/s) PC
Cards. 
You can recognize the Standard and Turbo PC Cards by the color of their
label, which is either a: 
. White label with the WaveLAN logo 
. Bronze Label with the WaveLAN logo 
. Silver Label with the WaveLAN logo but without the descriptor "Turbo
11"
