Help with wireless

[Margarita Manterola <debian@marga.com.ar>]

Hi!

I need help with configuring my wireless.  I asked on irc, but didn't get
any answers.

My card is a Linksys WPC54G ver 1.2, it uses ndiswrapper.

I can configure my card by doing this:

vida:/home/marga# iwconfig wlan0 mode auto essid debconf enc ffff-ffff-ff enc open commit

After that, I get signal with the access point.

vida:/home/marga# iwconfig wlan0                                                wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"debconf"  
          Mode:Auto  Frequency:2.457 GHz  Access Point: 12:ED:27:BA:05:9D   
          Bit Rate:54 Mb/s   Tx-Power:16 dBm   
          RTS thr:2347 B   Fragment thr:2346 B   
          Encryption key:FFFF-FFFF-FF   Security mode:open
          Power Management max timeout:0us  mode:All packets received
          Link Quality:100/100  Signal level:-57 dBm  Noise level:-256 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

But when I run wpa_supplicant (with the config shown in the wiki) it's not
configured (wpa_supplicant -w -iwlan0 -Dndiswrapper) :

vida:/home/marga# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.457 GHz  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00   
          Bit Rate:54 Mb/s   Tx-Power:16 dBm   
          RTS thr:2347 B   Fragment thr:2346 B   
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management max timeout:0us  mode:All packets received
          Link Quality:100/100  Signal level:-57 dBm  Noise level:-256 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

I also tried madduck's config of ifupdown, but it didn't work either. 

I think this is some sort of bug of the ndiswrapper, but I don't really know.
If someone can please give me a hint, I'll really appreciate it.
