[Nolug] Wireless card should be working

I bought a Linksys WMP54G wireless PCI card and installed it last
night using ndiswrapper. By all accounts it should be working, but
I can't get it to work on a -B network. It sees the packets, but isn't
switching, and iwconfig doesn't have any effect on the bit rate or
essid. It only changes the mode and channel as far as I can tell.
Here's dmesg after I modprobe ndiswrapper:

ndiswrapper version 0.9-pre2 loaded
ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5.sys added
ndiswrapper: using irq 12
divert: allocating divert_blk for wlan0
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0f:66:6e:4d:97 using driver bcmwl5.sys
ndiswrapper device wlan0 supports WPA with AES/CCMP and TKIP ciphers

Which is correct according to ndiswrapper INSTALL. Iwconfig wlan0 gives:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
          Bit Rate:54Mb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm
          RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-10 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:27497 Missed beacon:0

Notice "Invalid misc" is incrementing every few seconds, so I think it is
seeing the access point on some level. Iwlist scan returns nothing.

Any ideas?
