I used alternatively 'wl' and 'ndiswrapper'. I can connect to & use open
networks in both cases.

For WPA networks, however, there are problems in both cases:

  -- With 'wl', the connection to a WPA network can be made but is not
usable because it breaks quickly. This is described by
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293869. Because of an other (crash) bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296578), I blacklisted 'wl' and
replaced it by 'ndiswrapper'.

  -- With 'ndiswrapper', I have the problem described here: network-
manager tries to connect, asks me for the password, tries to connect,
asks me for the password again... No more success with wicd.

As you can see, no way to use WPA networks because of two different (?)
bugs. I don't know if there is a link between them, if they share the
same (or similar) causes so... I talked about both and let you decide.
