Thank you for the answer. I had no time to try it (my laptop is at home
now), but I will report back as soon as possible. 

Just one question: I downloaded ndiswrapper 0.12 and --- although via a
completely different patch --- the iwndis.c file is quite changed. Should I
use this version? Is the bug fixed in a different way?

Do you mean the CVS snapshot "stable" or "development"?
