i thought that you already were on ~amd64 since you asked for 1.0.6 ebuild
that should be coded as unstable for amd64 branch... well, it doesn't really
matter much...

this is one of the things i've failed with.... there's a post in the forum
if you search ar5006eg that points to an ebuild they say it works (a
modified madwifi-ng driver) but i wasn't able to have it working (i think
that it's limited to x86 architecture). as for ndiswrapper i know that the
latest kernels are removing some ndiswrapper needed calls. also the
ndiswrapper is known to be quite buggy: it either works well or doesn't
really work.... i've had some terific experiences with it some time ago with
the bcm wifi boards and stopped using it at all. i preffer not having a
functionality than using that stuff installed. for what it worths, do you
have the wpa_supplicant and the linux wireless utils (iwconfig and other
utils) installed?!
