I replaced the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper:

alias usb:v0846p6A00d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* ndiswrapper

with

alias wlan0 ndiswrapper

When I changed that line, my wireless adapter (Netgear wg111v2) received an ip address from the router. Before that, it would sometimes receive one but most of the time dhclient would time out.
Seems like wpa_supplicant has trouble connecting properly when the interface was not created by it ? Would that be a correct conclusion ?
