          | There is a native driver bcm43xx kernel module which conflicts with ndisdwrapper driver. ====
 If you use ndiswrapper, you need to blacklist the native driver
 
 blacklist the native driver by adding
 
 #broadcom native driver
 blacklist bcm43xx
 
 to the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
 -- edit this file as root
 ====
 (native driver works quite well with kanotix kernel -- if you want to use it, make sure you have bcm43xx-fwcutter installed, and run bcm43xx-fwcutter against your Windows .sys file (Broadcvom firmware) -- then you'll need to remove your driver from ndiswrapper, or blacklist ndiswrapper)
 
 (You can search for more info on Broadcom drivers if you need it or are interested)

          | I blacklisted that driver already. 
 Thanks Bill

          | Got it fixed using ndiswrapper although it probably could work with other driver. Googled around and found a site that said for WEP 64 bit is default, so I changed to 64 bit and shared key.
