The odd thing, it would work with WEP. It was having problems with the encryption algorithm for WPA/2. Had no problems communicating with the router, just could pass the WPA/2 password correctly. I've got an identical card in a Winders box, and it works fine there. Go figure. Not sure if the problem was the driver, ndiswrapper or the wpa_supplicant. I finally gave up on it after wasting almost 5 hours and went to the bridge.
