If you use the classic (32 bit) Ubuntu distribution then ndiswrapper works just fine .
If you use the version for AMD64 then I think there is a problem with ndiswrapper .

I own an acer1524 (AMD64) and I use the 32 bit version of Ubuntu and wireless works just fine !

how do you do that?

[Snipersnest]

all he did was install the 32bit version of Ubuntu rather than the 64bit version... you don't have to install the 64bit version just because you have a 64bit processor.

So in other words... install the 32bit Ubuntu then you can use ndiswrapper without a problem...
