Can't get ipn2220 working

Hi, i am trying to install the Win2k driver with ndiswrapper but i can't get it.
My wifi card is a ipn2220 acording to lspci:

02:04:0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] IN PROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)

I have googled  for it and i found out that i have to use ndiswrapper with the Win2k driver to get it working, so, i did this:

 #  ndiswrapper -i /opt/80211g/Win2k/neti2220.inf

At this point the console reported:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE="en_US",
        LC_ALL = (unset)
        LC_COLLATE = "C"
        LANG= "en_US.utf8"
       are supported and installed on your system.
perl:warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
installing neti2220 ...

I don't know if the warnings are related, but according to the last line it is correctly installed.
After that I run this:

#ndiswrapper -l
 perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE="en_US",
        LC_ALL = (unset)
        LC_COLLATE = "C"
        LANG= "en_US.utf8"
       are supported and installed on your system.
perl:warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
neti2220: driver installed
       device (17FE:2220) present

As far as I know it is everything OK. I load the ndiswrapper module (modprobe ndiswrapper) and set up the wlan0 interface (ifconfig wlan0 up) withouth any error report.
Then I scan for my wireless connection with "iwlist wlan0 scan" and it reports "wlan0  No scan results". The problem is that it actually are at least 3 wifi lines over here, and it doesn't find any of them. I have also traied to set my ESSID and key, but after setting it, if I run "iwconfig wlan0" it tells me that the card isn't associated to any Acces-Point. Does anyone know what is wrong?

By the way, this is the dmesg tail:

ndiswrapper: version 1.53 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=yes)
ndiswrapper: driver neti2220 (LanExpress, 03/29/2004, 2.10.03.2004) loaded

Thanks for the help, and I'm sorry for my English
