You didn't install everything required. VT1 root-3-TESTING:~# apt-cache search ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-common - Common scripts required to use the utilities for ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-source - Source for the ndiswrapper linux kernel module ndiswrapper-utils - Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-utils-1.1 - Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 - Userspace utilities for the ndiswrapper linux kernel module <--<snip>--> I do not want to use ndiswrapper. I did a lot of searching for, not only a Wireless card, but one that would function on Linux. I don't know anything about how to use ndiswrapper so can't help you with it. I can tell you that _installing_ it is no different then installing the madwifi drivers. If you learn how to install it, you are well on your way. Don't forget Google. The ndiswrapper _is_ used on linux by a lot of people and many have pointed out how they accomplished it, on Google. Good Luck!
