Getting the WMP54GS using WPA to work

So about a year ago, I was easily able to get this wireless card to work under Knoppix with WEP. Now that I moved and using WPA, I can't seem to get it working.

Here are the steps I do in order:
Code:
ndiswrapper -i wmp54gs.inf
(ndiswrapper -l shows me that the driver is correct and the hardware exists)
ndiswrapper -m
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 essid anon
iwconfig wlan0 key MYWPAKEY
pump -i wlan0
But when I do the last line, it always says "Operation failed.". I think it's because it didn't like the key I put in. Also, do I have to put the plain text or the encrypted key for the key parameter?

Thank you.
