You can't use NDISwrapper with aircrack. It is most like because NDISwrapper wraps the Windows wireless driver where aircrack needs to have a linux module to use (I think).

My understanding is that to use aircrack you need a card that can run in promiscuous mode and even a lot of the linux drivers don't do this.

I am pretty sure that you are right. There should be a list of compatible drivers at the aircrack-ng site.

If you running Ubuntu 8.1 the patched drivers for your wireless card should be automatically applied when installed if your wifi card supports airmon-ng mode
