Bug Description
The procedure for installing the Windows drivers for the Netgear MA111 USB wireless device using ndiswrapper, which worked fine with Ubuntu Breezy, now no longer works with the Dapper Drake alpha.
In Breezy, I used to get my wireless USB dongle (Netgear MA111) working as follows:
Install ndiswrapper-utils
> sudo ndiswrapper -i NETMA111.inf
> sudo depmod -a
> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
> sudo ndiswrapper -m
Then I added ndiswrapper to /etc/modules
Then I reboot
Et voila! I would see a wlan0 entry under Networking
This no longer works under Dapper Drake. I see no wlan0 entry. I tried recompiling the latest version of ndiswrapper from source but to no avail.

It always tells me that the driver is invalid, no matter if I use the winXP driver, the win98se driver etc. This worked perfectly before the upgrade to dapper (before the ndiswrapper upgrade!).
