I have come to the conclusion that Gus is probably right. My problem is not hardware nor is it ndiswrapper. It is more likely it's the kernel I'm working with. My reasoning for sticking with this kernel was, I went to CentOS for stability and I don't want to dink with it. However, stability w/o connectivity sucks. I'm ready to take direction. Anybody? Gus?
