Those errors are not important :)

Let me try to explain what I did, for your security in you AP you should make MAC address based connection.
Type your pcmcia card's MAC address in to your AP webbased console wireless-security section and then..

su -
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 essid <your-essid> mode managed
ifconfig wlan0 <IP> netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw <your AP IP>

If still your not able to connect to your AP check MAC address and security sections.
