I don't know what you are doing, but the patch applies just fine for me.
Trying to reproduce this problem, I saved the message from the mail
client (Evolution), pulled and seeked to the netdev branch
(rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git) and used git-applymbox:

[proski@dv linux-2.6]$ cg-pull netdev

Maybe your script doesn't like that the author of that patch is not me,
but Jean Tourrilhes?

Or maybe the patch is corrupted on your side?  Then please see the
attachment (compressed for protection).  The patches are also available
at http://red-bean.com/proski/orinoco/
