I have exactly the same issues with Feisty freezing/crashing with the same combination of Netgear WG111T wireless USB dongle and ndiswrapper. No matter what I do the result is always a total system crash a few seconds after the USB dongle is inserted. Some more info for you...

'dpkg -l ndiswrapper-common' for me gives "1.38-lubuntul"

I am using the WG111T v1.3 drivers from NetGear. The device ID is 1385:4251.

'ndiswrapper -l' reports that the netwg111t driver is installed.

I do a 'depmod -a' followed by 'modprobe ndiswrapper', the system then freezes almost immediately after I connect the USB dongle. I have attempted to collect syslog entries but they are not being saved. I have managed to take a screen-shot however and can email it if required.
