I, too, have a Linksys WPC54G card. I'm running 2.6.11, and ndiwrapper is handling the driver. May I ask what version of wpa_supplicant is working for you, and how you might have it configured? I'm unable to connect using WPA with my Linksys WRT54G router.

I'm connecting to a LinkSys WAP54G. Using sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r6, sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r8, net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.1-r1, and net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.4.0. I followed the instructions in the ndiswrapper wiki more or less directly and it works just fine.
My wpa_supplicant.conf is pretty much standard stuff (deleting all the comments and changing ssid and keys):
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
   ssid="my ssid"
   psk="my psk"
}

And my /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant says:
Code:
INTERFACES="wlan0"
ARGS_wlan0="-Dndiswrapper"

I have ndiswrapper in my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file. When I insert the card I
Code:
/etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start
and the interface comes up. Of course, I've done all the normal stuff in /etc/init.d by symlinking net.wlan0 to net.eth0, and making sure my /etc/conf.d/net is correct. All that information can be found elsewhere.
