My laptop (asus a6km) has a wireless led which always stays off, even when the card is _working_ under ndiswrapper. I think there is a way to switch it on, but the point is that the card works anyway. Another issue with laptops is that some of them have a software radio switch. If you don't activate it using a kernel module, you can't do anything with the wireless card. So before trying anything else, make sure you don't have such a beast on your laptop. Here is a list of laptops which need that: http://rfswitch.sourceforge.net/?page=laptop_matrix
