Same problem -- and it DOES work with WEP -- just not WPA.

Let me start by saying that I use ndiswrapper to (try to) connect to a WPA wireless Network using a Netgear WG111v1 and NetworkManager.

If I try to connect to the WPA network it just won't connect (No NetworkManager green button lights) even though it tries for a few minutes and then fails. If I change the security method to open WEP on my router it connects perfectly and automatically. My wireless adapter used to connect to the WPA network in version -9 of the kernel (with a modprobe reload of ndiswrapper every time I booted).

Note I have blacklisted prism54usb for ndiswrapper
