Thank you for the advice. Now that ndiswrapper 1.8-rc1 works with kernel
2.6.15 I will stick with it, because it works perfectly. But I will keep
the idea with netprofile 'None' and my own startup-script in mind for
the next time I try a new kernel and do not want to compile ndiswrapper
again.

Mario,
I had the same problem with the madwifi driver (the newer proprietary
one); I think this isn't too uncommon, so I don't think you're doing
anything wrong. I create a netprofile called 'None' for when I'm using
wireless and just use a script to bring up wireless.
I realize this doesn't help too much, but hopefully it's helpful to know
you probably aren't doing something wrong.
