I updated my kernel and now my wireless card won't work. I have a

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?
I don't have that specific card, but I too couldn't get my wifi card
to work with ndiswrapper-1.18 and that kernel. Falling back to the
previous kernel, everything worked again.
One thing to try is installing the initscripts RPM in updates-testing.
