Rad,
Hmm, my steps work on a Norhtec MicroClient SxJr with a VIA vt6655 wireless
card.
Did you do "ndiswrapper -ma"? This will make it load at startup in the file
/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.
Perhaps you need to try a different version of the windows driver?
Also you can try creating/modifying the file /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper and put in the
line "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper".

Hi !
I tired Ndiswrapper and did not have much luck.
1) ndiswrapper -i VNWL.inf > ndiswrapper -i vnwl.inf
The card was not detected at all . After lot of googling around ,I
found that the module may be missing.
Tried lsmod > ndiswrapper was missing.
I tried modprobe ndiswrapper as mentioned in the original artilce.
"FATAL module Ndiswrapper was not found."
Again after lot of googling I tried the age old method ,
"insmod lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/ndiswrapper.ko".
It worked !
lsmod shows module ndiswrapper installed.
2) But even though /etc/network/interfaces like you mentioned ,
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid SMC
wireless-key <key>
I get with iwconfig >

What am I doing wrong ? And if I reboot I have to do insmod again !
Please help !
Cheers
Rad
