Yeah,  I started encountering drops and lost sync with ndiswrapper so I am
trying madwifi now.  It detects the card, but I must not be entering my
key or something correctly because I am not getting a lease.  I used the
atrpms RPM for madwifi and iwconfig to enter the key, essid and so forth. 
One thing that I found I had to enter under ndiswrapper was the freq but I
get an error trying to enter that with madwifi using iwconfig.  More to
play with I guess.

Thanks,

Brad
