Quick update. I also tried my laptop's internal wireless card (HP nx9110
with broadcom card). I can load that drivers well, but still see nothing
in messages. At least it says hardware present.

[root at laptop WinXP]# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
airplus driver present
bcmwl5  driver present, hardware present

Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks,
James
