Not so good.

This looks ok, at least the driver is being loaded.

What does `iwconfig' tell you? Before `modprobe ndiswrapper' I have:

dfokkema@sirius:dfokkema$ sudo iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

After modprobing ndiswrapper, I have

dfokkema@sirius:dfokkema$ sudo iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.
