[Ndiswrapper-general] Re: ndiswrapper 1.0rc fails to scan on ipw2200 (and too many .conf files for w29n51 driver)

sorry, somehow thunderbird decided to do this fancy wrapping... so i'm 
posting this again.

sorry that i did not explain this correctly. the problem is than "iwlist
wlan0 scan" gives me "No scan results" and i cannot associate.

tried current cvs (2004-11-11 22:00 GMT) but unfortunately this resulted
in a kernel panic, with both drivers. but as far as i can see the
problem with the conf files is fixed. i did reinstall the windows
drivers. i tried both build 79210 (w22n51) and 90281 (w29n51).

ok, i retried this with -rc2 (and reinstalling the drivers and deleting
unnessecary conffiles). "iwlist wlan0 scan" always gives me "No scan
results". i'm attaching the debug output for these command sequence:
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwlist wlan0 scan
iwconfig wlan0 power off
iwlist wlan0 scan
iwpriv wlan0 ndis_reset
iwlist wlan0 scan

thanks, your help is much appreciated!
