Wireless Network issue

[Dean Glazeski]

I've hit a road block.

I've been trying to get a wireless network card, namely the Netgear 
WG311v3 to work on a Fedora Core 6 install.  I'm running the 2.6.19 
kernel and attempting to use ndiswrapper 1.34 to use the Windows 
drivers.  I looked on ndiswrapper's list of working devices and this 
Netgear is there and I have the suggested drivers.  The problem I'm 
having is that when I attempt to connect to a wireless network using 
NetworkManager-gnome, it attempts a connection, but then fails.  Looking 
at dmesg after this happens, I see that ndiswrapper is reporting that 
the scanning failed.  What's more interesting is that the device will 
work out of the blue and will connect to my access point, but I have 
been unable to pinpoint why it just starts working.  Any help would be 
appreciated since I have been unable to find a solution even with a good 
amount of time googling around about the error.
