Please try:Don't make me get out the big hammer!!Code:sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Let's see if there are any informative messages:That's a lower-case L for 'list.'Code:ndiswrapper -l
The pipe symbol | is on the right side of my US keyboard on the same key with \.Code:dmesg | grep ndis
What..?? Was the device inserted at the time? If so, and the .inf file was correct for the device, it ought to have also returned 'device present.' Check:Does the device show up as before?Code:lsusb
Now check the .inf file:Quote:
Device 003: ID 2001:330d D-Link Corp.
Do you see the parts I quoted?Code:less Desktop/xp/WinXP/netrtwlanu.inf <--or WinX64 if yours is a 64-bit system
Get out of 'less' with q.Quote:
%DLink.DeviceDesc% = RTL8192cu.ndi, USB\VID_2001&PID_330D
;;************************************************ ****************************
;; IDs for X64

[DLink.NTamd64]
%DLink.DeviceDesc% = RTL8192cu.ndi, USB\VID_2001&PID_330D
Perhaps the module needs to be loaded first:This case gets more interesting by the moment!Code:sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper -l
dmesg | grep ndis
Excellent.Quote:
OK I re-ran the codes with the device in
Please do:Reboot so we have a clean slate. Then run:Code:sudo su
echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules
exit
Find the text file revelias.txt in your user directory and paste it here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/Code:iwconfig > revelias.txt
dmesg >> revelias.txt
Give us the link so we can study the messages and try to see what's going wrong.
I ranand rebooted with the device in which resulted in kernal panic with the gui crashing. I then rebooted without the device and was able to log in but once i plugged the device in it crashed the system.Code:sudo su
echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules
exit
Here is the link to the output:

Yikes! Any clues here?If there are few or no lines of output, look here:Code:cat /var/log/syslog | grep ndis | tail -n20
Code:cat /var/log/syslog.1 | grep ndis | tail -n20
That code returned:
