Hey everyone!!

Just wondering if there are any experts with ndiswrapper + amd64.
Everything is configured right. At least I think so. The drivers are
loaded. ndiswrapper is loaded on startup. I followed the installation
guide word for word. Its sees my card. No errors or anything

Only thing is it just wont work. 

Little summary (Please let me know if more is needed):

- Using DHCP
- Turned off WEP for now
- took down eth0, wlan0 up but still nothing
- As I said, everything in the guide worked so my card can see my AP
- I'm using a built-in laptop card- Broadcom BCM4306 (Presario R3000)
- A little lite indicates that the card is on when using WindowsXP but
I cant turn it on at all in Ubuntu.
- In network-admin, its says that wlan0 is active

I have come to the conclusion, with the help a whole lot of other
people(forums, mailing lists and google) ... that it has something to
do with this:
-------------------------------------------

Sorry for the long post but I don't know anything else to do... Any
suggestions??

Thanks in advance!!
