Well, I am using ndiswrapper 1.40 and ubuntu 6.10 Edgy i am waiting for Feisty to be realesed. It seems that it now works only when i manually set the key to open
( sudo iwconfig [device-id] ESSID "[network-name]" key open" ) so it connects to unencrypted network BUT it gives this error ( Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.) i donot know why, i donot know also why it works after the error, may be it resets the interface state so it is able to connect to unencrypted networks after that.
i also tried (sudo iwconfig [device-id] key off), after that i try to associate with unencrypted network and it didn't work.
