Bug Description

Binary package hint: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Under edgy, I had to roll my own 2.6.19 kernel with ndiswrapper 1.32. I used the XP drivers. I have a small how-to in the ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=313674 .I'm now running under 2.6.20-15-generic. It seems to use ndiswrapper 1.9 Now the interesting thing is that when I issue

ndiswrapper -l

It gives the same output as it did under 2.6.19. Also, I have diffed the rt73.inf in /etc/ndiswrapper/rt73 and the one in the WINXP directory that I used and there is no difference. Also, there is no difference between the respective rt73.sys files.

I should say that the wireless seems to see the network. It simply will not connect. I'm using networkmanager.
