I have the same problem. It is not only in Ubuntu but also Suse 10.0.
Something got broken as i worked in Suse 9.3 and 10.0 beta as well as Ubuntu
5.04. I am getting frustrated with it. If you are willing to pay for a
driver, Linuxant's driver loader does work. That tells me that it is not a
hardware or driver issue but a ndiswrapper issue.

Please keep me informed.
