I seem to get 98 percent of the way with ndiswrapper and Marvell's
64-bit driver under 

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 #1 SMP Thu Nov 8 22:14:09
EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

That is, I see wlan0 under iwconfig, I can run iwlist wlan0 scan and
see two essids (one being my own), I can iwconfig wlan0 to my 
parameters, but finally when I ifconfig wlan0 up and ifconfig eth0
down, I lose connectivity. 

Any ideas?
