I used the Windows wireless drivers tab to load the .inf file for the Linsys card.

Ah. This is the difference between using native drivers and using ndiswrapper.

ndiswrapper is a hack to let Linux use Windows drivers. It works, but only for small values of work.

If you want full support, like WPA, you need to use a card that uses native drivers.

ndiswrapper doesn't support encryption on every card that it "supports."

Take a look and tell me what you think.
