I would avoic ndiswrapper if your wireless card is supported by a 
native Linux driver.  It is an ugly hack that has unfixable design 
obstacles due to the way Windows allocates a larger stack size.  This 
can contribute to random system crashes.

Did you download the certificate files and specify them in the 
wpa_supplicant.conf?
