ndiswrapper is just a hack to use immoral drivers. Not a real solution at all.

The actual driver, however, should be picked up by hotplug, though... Seems to 
detect my orinoco-compatible card fine. The only exception I can think of to 
this would be a Broadcom-based card, in which case you get to test out the 
new bcm43xx driver: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
