Ndiswrapper + amd64

[Christoph Georgi]

Sorry for having such a long delay in my replies.. :-/

Please do the following:

$ sudo ifdown wlan0 (although it's probably down anyway, but just to 
ensure).
$ iwconfig (please post the output)
$ pager /etc/network/interfaces (post the output)

Then $ifup wlan0 -> I suppose you won't get an ip, but the card should 
try and connect to the AP. If this is the case, you will be able to see 
in the AP's log file that the card (in form of it's MAC) connected to 
the AP. Please check the timestamp on the logfile, too, not that we're 
talking about a connect from yesterday ;)

So please check that and tell me, whether the card is seen by the AP. I 
suppose this will be _not_ the case. If I'm right please check via
$ iwconfig
whether the ESSID and the channel are set correctly. Another possible 
problem is if you're using a different authentification standard with 
Linux. You said, you configured your router to "open" auth. Ensure that 
Linux is set similar (if have not yet used encryption with wlan under 
linux, but you should be able to see whether you're trying to establish 
an encrypted connection with the AP by means of $ iwconfig or $ ps aux 
<- look for any wpa_supplicant or x_supplicant daemons or programs that 
are running...).

Sorry for my confusing writings... Hope you get through ;)
