20 What card do you actually have? IMO NDISwrapper is a last resort for
21 cards that have no native support & for users who cannot afford a
22 supported card. You should certainly be using madwifi or madwifi-ng
23 (the driver which provides ath_pci, IIRC) if your card supports it.

25 What does `lspic -vt` say?
26 What does `iwconfig` say?
