sit0: no wireless extensions

[Ben Edwards]

Got it working using ndiswrapper - c
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5645.html.

But can only get it working with an 'open' network.  In my router I
have 4 keys, key 1 -key 4.  ime using 64bit encription.  not exactly
sure wether I need to yupe in all 4 keys joined togethter or only the
first one.  Tried both without sucsess.  Donig this under
Computer->System Configuration->Networking.  Also whne I try to start
the network with ifup I get:-

ben at ubuntu:~ $ sudo ifup wlan0
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    invalid argument "31ROSEBERY".
