For some reason, while playing with the setup and re-reading the threads 
after posting the post above, I've now got it working with 128-bit 
encryption.

One thing I did different was use a WinXP/IE workstation to program the 
AP, a Inexq hr054g, but whether that made any difference I don't know.

The command that finally got it working was :

iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid DAP1 key  s:1234567890123

Next, how's the best way to get ndiswrapper loaded at bootup? I could 
simply modprobe ndiswrapper in rc.local or somewhere else, but is there 
a better way?

Also, how can I now configure the laptop so that it connects to 
whichever AP is in range (I have three offices and 3 differently 
configured APs)
