I just had a Ubuntu install with an older Linksys Wireless card. Long story short I tried the ndswrapper from command line to install the driver without luck. I usually like to try and figure these things out however I didn’t have much time to play this time. Thats when I discovered ndisgtk.
sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
That will install ndiswrapper and a GUI. Found it to be much quicker.
note: I don’t recall looking for it on the menu’s. I always just hit Alt+F2 and type ndisgtk.
