You need after installing ndiswrapper have to done the following commands in a terminal (Application - Accessories - Terminal)
copy and paste

sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo ndiswrapper -m

See ndiswrapper when you do?

lsmod

To load ndiswrapper when you boot

sudo gedit /etc/modules

and add on a line on its own at the end of the file

ndiswrapper

Reboot and your wireless card should be recognised

Good luck

lsmod

To load ndiswrapper when you boot

sudo gedit /etc/modules

Look like your windows driver is installed correctly. These commands will insert the ndiswrapper into the kernel.

sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo ndiswrapper -m


This command checks that that ndiswrapper is loaded. A load of text will be listed and you should see ndiswrapper somewhere in that list.

lsmod


Adding ndiswrapper to /etc/modules makes sure ndiswrapper is loaded when the machine boots up.
Hope that sort of explains what is going on well to the best of my ability anyway.

Good luck
