My Wireless-Tools and Extension are compatible with each other:

lost@SILVIA:~$ iwconfig --version
iwconfig Wireless-Tools version 28
          Compatible with Wireless Extension v11 to v20.

Kernel Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v20.

wlan0 Recommend Wireless Extension v18 or later,
          Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v20.

I can connect to my hidden networks (home/work) using NetworkManager by going to "Connect to Other Wireless Network" and manually entering SSID, WPA password, etc. However on reboot, NetworkManager will not auto reconnect to either network, I have to do it manually every time, even though both networks are saved in gconf-editor.

I'm using Ubuntu 6.10, BCM4318 with ndiswrapper driver on an Acer Aspire 3000 laptop.
