I had the same problem.  I installed the AMD64 version of ubuntu,
installed ndiswrapper from source because none of the ubuntu packages
supported it...  For some odd reason, I guess you can't use 32-bit
drivers on a 64-bit kernel.  I didn't bother looking for a solution, so
I just installed (32-bit) Ubuntu 5.04 Hoary, and I have it running
perfectly with wpa_supplicant and all.



Maybe when Microshaft releases their 64-bit OS, they'll have 64-bit
drivers for the wireless device.  



Also, I was thinking maybe there is a 32-bit flag you can specify when
compiling ndiswrapper, but I'm too lazy right now to go look for it.
