If it is the 5007EG (probably reported as 5006EG by lspci) the madwifi
driver only works on 32 bit  Also, it's been a bit iffy, at least for
some people--the fact that the INSTALL doc hasn't been updated doesn't
help and can leave the unwary searching desperately for ath0.  

So, if ndiswrapper is working, then stick with it.  However, (again, I
didn't thoroughly test this) I believe that the 5211.inf that is used by
the card doesn't work with WPA2.  

(I'd be curious if you could either confirm or correct that.  I'm
assuming that the driver was the 5211.inf, which seems to be the only
one available.)
