[Bug 613796] [NEW] ndiswrapper can scan for SSIDs but cannot connect on any kernel newer than 2.6.34-5.14

[Eric Appleman]

Public bug reported:

Even though the ndiswrapper package was just fixed to not complain about
2.6.35 kernels, this problem persists.

The ndiswrapper module will load, use the proper drivers, and scan for
networks without any problems.

However, as soon as I try to connect to a network (unsecured or
secured), ndiswrapper can never finish the connection. If secured, I
keep getting asked for the SSID password. Doesn't matter if I use
Network Manager, Wicd, or command line.

This does not affect any 2.6.34 kernels that I've used so far.
