Description of Problem:
Windows driver installed without problem (ndiswrapper), but
network-admin doesn´t find wlan0.  If I try to configure rausb0, system
freezes. 

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. network-admin
2. configure and activate wireless connection.


Actual Results:
System crashes

Expected Results:
After Windows Driver installation (ndiswrapper), 
default gateway device should be wlan0, activation
wireless connection should be possible.

How often does this happen?
Every time I try to activate proposed wireless connection (rausb0)

Additional Information:
if I rename
/lib/modules/2.6.15-15-386/kernel/drivers/usb/net/rt2570/rt2570.ko 
everything is fine!

When unplugging a USB network device (using drivers inside ndiswrapper), on
plugging the device back in, ndiswrapper/modprobe doesn't update the "network
tools" gui... however, typing in WLAN0 or ETH0 in the "name" box, activates the
"configure" button, after which you can activate the appropriate network
interface...

Seems to be a drivers problem, doesn't have much to do with g-s-t...
