There was great wailing and wringing of hands building and trying different versions of ndiswrapper on dsl with a zillion different Windows drivers for Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG, including exactly the versions people reported working online on different systems.  Afaik, it just does not work.
 
I hope you have better luck with your card.

EDIT:  Oh, I forgot there was gnashing of teeth as well ;=)

Just curious, but why are you trying to use ndiswrapper? I thought that Atheros chipset cards worked "out of the box"?

The standard drivers do not work due to unrecognized hardware version.

oops, missed that one!

So not all Atheros cards work? Is there a list of incompatible ones?

New hardware is becoming supported all the time, but most Atheros cards are supported now.
Here's a list of working cards, in the current madwifi of course: http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility

According to the requirements even the latest madwifi would run fine on DSL. Extension up anyone?
