i've been over 3 hours trying to figure out why after following all the setup guides, my wifi card just cant get the driver properly installed with ndiswrapper.
im in ubuntu 9.04 64 bit.
my lspci output is:

the wireless card manufacter is "Tenda" and the model is "TWL521P"
so i downloaded this driver which is supossed to be for my chipset Marvell 88w8335, and comes inside with the 64but version
http://www.skd.de/e_en/support/driver_searchresults.html?navanchor=&term=typ.treiber+bs.Windows+produkt.SK-54C1&produkt=produkt.SK-54C1&typ=typ.treiber&system=bs.Windows
and also this one which is 64bit too
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/131948
then i did the traditional steps to install the driver with ndiswrapper.
sudo ndiswrapper -i mrv8335x64.inf
sudo ndiswrapper -m
when i check the driver i get this output.
neoideo@neoideo-desktop:~/Desktop/WinX64$ ndiswrapper -l
