Thanks a lot. I just got a chance to test this.
Unfortunately, it doesn't "work". In other words:
1) I put the above in my /etc/network/interfaces
2) I commented out any lines with eth0 for good measure
3) but when I boot up and ping, I get:
ping -c 5 www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com

Then, as per my original message, when I:
su
iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxx essid my-network
dhclient wlan0

... it works.

Maybe this is the problem. How do I make sure ndiswrapper is loaded
before networking? ... I'm clueless about how to control start-up
scripts.
