Went and downloaded ndiswrapper-1.6 and did the make && make install and all is well.
We have WEP encryption at our office and I had to modify the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless script with the following
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~snip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if [ -n "$KEY" -o -n "$KEY1" -o -n "$KEY2" -o -n "$KEY3" -o -n "$KEY4" ] ; then
[ -n "$KEY1" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [1] $KEY1
[ -n "$KEY2" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [2] $KEY2
[ -n "$KEY3" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [3] $KEY3
[ -n "$KEY4" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [4] $KEY4
[ -n "$DEFAULTKEY" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [${DEFAULTKEY}]
[ -n "$KEY" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key $KEY open
else
iwconfig $DEVICE key off
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~snip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had to add "open" to be able to use the network configuration gui.
