Ndiswrapper +wpa_supplicant

[Andrew Duane]

I changed my Linksys router/ap (WRT54G) to B only then ran wpa_supplicant
again but no luck. Same as before. I've put it back to mixed now. Still get
protocol b from a scan though?

Yes somehow either ndiswrapper or wpa_supplicant have trouble with 
802.11g APs tested a few of them usually they work if one sets them to 
802.11b, if possible.
