Ah, that's very interesting because I am using that very card with DSL v2.4 and ndiswrapper!
Works great.

I have a couple of ibm thinkpads to test with.
A T20 and a 240.

My hunch is that you may be experiencing IRQ conflicts.
Especially when using new(er) wireless card with old(er) hardware.

If you try this:

$ dmesg | grep IRQ

then look for Sharing and the irq involved.
New(er) hardware is better at irq assignments/sharing.

If you see such sharing happening then you can see what device it is by...

lspci -v | grep xx:xx.x

where the x is the device number show from the above grep of dmesg

Possible to assign different irq via BIOS or during modprobe?

I have tested ndiswrapper with four different wireless devices and all work fine.
But then I don't have irq conflicts with these devices.
I have one atheros card that does have such a conflict.
