[Bug 986064] Re: FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found, configuration already contains alias directive 12.04

[aeromojito]

I used the packages in the repos.

ndisgtk (0.8.5-1)
ndiswrapper-common (1.57-1ubuntu1)
ndiswrapper-dkms (1.57-1ubuntu1)
ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 (1.57-1ubuntu1)

The problem seems to be that ndiswrapper-dkms does not install as a
dependency. After installing ndiswrapper-dkms, I was able to use the
rt2500.inf driver from WindowsXP. As a note, I was not able to use the
rt2500pci kernel driver after installing and uninstalling ndiswrapper,
even after un-blacklisting it. The wireless adapter would connect for
about 2 minutes and then lose the ability to connect to any networks.
