My experience: ndiswrapper used to work fine, was badly broken for a
while (I had to revert to the previous release), the following upgrade
appeared OK, but would randomly stop working. Now it has been very
stable again for a while - I'm running 1.45 under 2.6.22-rc4.

Last time I tried madwifi (0.9.4 I think) it didn't work. It seemed
pretty close as I could see various ESSID etc, but never received any
data (it seemed to send, though).

ndiswrapper, but I would prefer to go madwifi.

Can't help you there - I'm on Gentoo and I've just flagged ndiswrapper
as ~x86 and emerge'd it. I compiled madwifi manually from source.
