have to rmmod/insmod ndiswrapper every boot

Hi all -- I just upgraded to Hoary (which has been a freaking
nightmare, so far), and ndiswrapper now fails at every boot.

The module loads fine, but it won't pass traffic. The first indication
is the ntp connection times-out.  After it finally comes up, pinging the
AP fails. I can do a "iwlist wlan0 scan", which works. All the config
parameters look fine, and are unchanged since before the upgrade.

The only solution I've found is to do "rmmod ndiswapper; modprobe
ndiswrapper". Trying to configure it with iwconfig and ifconfig has no
effect until I reload the module.

This worked fine in Warty.

Anyone have a clue?

b.c.
