Hello, I would like to second this message. I'm at exactly the same stage with my D600 although using 2.4. with the drivers from the ndiswrapper page. I get the same "invalid argument" message. If I do iwconfig it apparently sees wlan0 but says device not present when I ifup wlan0. Is this due to encryption or something.?
