A light in the tunel! :)
Well i'm pretty sure the card supports WPA-PSK & WEP because that's
how i connect to the networks at work, but only using windows.

So the problem must be with the 'correct kernel modules'
Which modules do i need to load.
And how do i connect using WPA-PSK, i've been trying with
wpa_supplicant , but i'm not sure that it supports cards with ndis-ed
drivers, because it wont associate to an AP even without encryption.
