Netgear NET111v2, ndiswrapper and no signs of life?oO

Hi, I need to run my wlan under knoppix to install gentoo. I am using netgear net111v2 wireless usb card. I have wrapped windows drivers for that card, and everything seems to work ok except...the card! When i try to scan for networks, it dosen't find any. when i try to configure it to connect to my network, it dosen't respond to some of the commands. Have a look at this:
