Are you sure that's what your interface is called?
Type
sudo iwconfig

check there is a wlan0, if there is check it has all the wifi things next to it.

If you don't see a wlan0 then that would be why its having problems.
iwlist won't tell you that there is no interface it just claims it
can't scan. Example:

$ iwlist foobar scan
foobar    Interface doesn't support scanning.

I'm not an expert but I don't think I have an interface named foobar.

if there is no wlan0 listed by iwconfig, then look for something
similar, ignore entries with "no wireless extensions" printed next to
them.

If you don't have wlan0 listed, have you tried:
sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

(don't worry if it takes a while for it to return the prompt to you,
it normally does that).

after that check if you have a wlan0 listed by iwconfig.
Sorry if you have already done this, but its best to ask these things
so everyone knows whats going on.

What version of ndiswrapper are you running? Did you use the one from
the Kubuntu Repository/CD or did you download the source and compile
by hand.
I thing Kubuntu has ndiswrapper 1.8.

to find your version type:
ndiswrapper -v
you should have 3 lines (utills version, driver version, and version magic).

Wiki suggests it works with 1.7 an above so you should be fine.

I don't know any German so I just hope you can understand my English
