Alex,

  Thanks, will do. The current xp drivers work fantastic, so I will try the
ndiswrapper avenue first. If I can get that going, then I think wpa_supplicant
should work fine for wpa authentication. Worse case, I have another wireless
router I could use as a repeater for the existing wireless and simply provide a
wired connection to the dell box from that:

          |wireless|          |wireless|-- wired conn to TV     -->
          |router  |          |repeater|-- wired conn to bluray -->
           --------            --------

  I think the biggest issue right now is why ndiswrapper isn't working properly.
