$.99 says the problem is your /etc/network/interfaces references "eth0", which is wrong -- ndiswrapper will name your first interface "wlan0". Other than that, the configuration is identical to a non-ndiswrapper card. You don't have to touch wireless.opts -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
