Okay, now I'm running a kernel with 16k stacks. I also loaded
ndiswrapper 1.5. 

I can load everything like this:

ndiswrapper -i /install/ndiswrapper/broadcom/bcmwl5.inf
/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key my_key_goes_here
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid my_ssid_goes_here
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

In /var/log/messages I get this:
Nov  2 15:03:54 laptop kernel: ndiswrapper version 1.5 loaded
(preempt=no,smp=yes)
Nov  2 15:03:54 laptop kernel: ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5

Nov  2 15:03:55 laptop kernel: wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP;
TKIP with WPA; AES/CCMP with WPA

Here's the big problem at the moment. I don't see this device connecting
to my wireless router. If I look at the connections on my wireless
router this mac address does not connect. I've also tried it with
encryption turned off on the router, and not using a WEP key, but it
still doesn't connect. 

Anyone have any suggestions now?

Thanks,
James
