I updated my kernel and now my wireless card won't work.  I have a 
Linksys WPC54GS card and have been using ndiswrapper and 
wpa_supplicant with no problems.  Well not exactly, the last couple 
of kernels required me to use an older version of ndiswrapper, 1.14.  
Other than that it worked great.  Now with 2.6.17-1.2139 I can't get 
it to work at all.  The interesting thing is that the system-config-
network program sees the card now and it never did before.  It 
doesn't appear to support WPA however so I would like to use 
ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant.  wpa_supplicant won't load now and 
reports:

Starting wpa_supplicant: ioctl [SIOCSIWPMKSA]: No such device

This is new to this kernel version.

Anybody got one of these cards working?

Thanks,
