I also found the same about ndis driver.  I was not even able to
assign a ssid, mode, or a channel to a ndis0 interface.

At least net/iwi-firmware works w/ WPA (even if the interface causes
freeze after waking up from long sleep on IBM Thinkpad T42; or after
some time of good/stable connectivity, ping to Linksys WRT54G
(router, running as a AP/switch) goes unanswered).

BTW, when i read that you "found a work around", i was expecting a
work around to make ndis work.
