[Ndiswrapper-general] iwconfig command sequence + centrino

[<ndi...@xa...>]

I simply want to report that I was able to get ndiswrapper working successfully on the following environment, albeit with a minor problem:

-Acer Travelmate 803LCi  (Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100)
-kernel 2.6.4
-debian unstable

The only real problem I encountered was that the order in which the iwconfig commands are issued seemed to be significant.  Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere.  If I issue the commands in the order stated in the INSTALL document, wlan0 comes online but no traffic seems to be sent or received. If I change the order so that the essid gets set *before* the wep key, it all works like magic.  I don't know if this is a bug, documentation error or something to do with the peculiarities of my hardware. 

Doesn't work:

$ modprobe wlan0
$ iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
$ iwconfig wlan0 key open wepkey
$ iwconfig wlan0 essid network-name
$ ifconfig wlan0 up
$ dhclient wlan0

Does work!

$ modprobe wlan0
$ iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
$ iwconfig wlan0 essid network-name
$ iwconfig wlan0 key open wepkey
$ ifconfig wlan0 up
$ dhclient wlan0
