Hi Madhan,
I have the same issue using a D-Link DWL-G650+ with ndiswrapper. This
works quite well, except two issues:
- freezing (think is because of 4-k-stack)
this is resolvable with some kernels using the 16-k-stack from linuxant
- WPA
as this d-link-thing never wanted to work well with my barricade under
wep, i used wpa - this works well under windows. in conjunction with
linux/ndiswrapper (or perhaps even your card) i installed the
wpa/wpa2/ieee802.1x-supplicant from here:
http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/
so, all i had to do is installing ndiswrapper (my card has been
recognized on boot-up *yipieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*), installing ndiswrapper
and the supplicant.
All you have to do in the supplicant-config is creating a file called
.config, containing:
CONFIG_DRIVER_NDISWRAPPER=y
and then do make. copy the executables whereever you want (...and
whereever you gonna find them again...)
afterwards, create (e.g. in /etc/ a file for your wpa-config), the name
doesn't matter, and i have the following content:
network={
ssid="home"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="very secret passphrase"
}
shouldn't be a problem, as i just use wpa-psk on my smc 2804wbpr-g
barricade...
but it doesn't yet work, i let you know, when i get it working.. ;-)
Just wrote this, that you perhaps get an idea...

With my laptop I am using an AirLink model AWLC3025 802.11g pcmcia card
with ndiswrapper.
I have nothing special loaded except those items specified by the
ndiskwrapper page for configuration.
modprobe.conf contains
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
options ndiskwrapper if_name=wlan0
(Note that with these two lines you can give the adapter any interface
name you choose. I left it at default.)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/wlan0 contains
DEVICE=wlan0
IPV6INIT=no
ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=
TYPE=Wireless
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=
NETMASK=
DHCP_HOSTNAME=my.preferred.hostname
IPADDR=
DOMAIN=
ESSID=myessidname
MODE=Managed
I am using WEP encryption so I also have /etc/sysconfig/network-
scripts/keys-wlan0 which contains a single line with
KEY=<the 26 digit key that matches the key in my access point>
ndiswrapper loads at boot, and the card is activated as soon as I plug
it in. It has worked flawlessly since I installed ndiswrapper with the
windows drivers for that card.
The machine was freezing with the stock kernel, but I installed the 16k
kernel from linuxant and that stopped the freeze issue.
Full configuration information was available from the ndiswrapper page
and it worked on first try.
YMMV
