[Jimmy Turner]

Hi i'm a complete newb I have ubuntu 7.10 on my other computer. I cant seem
to get the internet to work.
I can't even get my wireless thing to show up on the computer. Its a 2Wire
usb wireless receiver.
Where it says

Ubuntu supports a system known as NDISWrapper. This allows you to use a
Windows wireless device driver under Ubuntu.

   1.

   Obtain the Windows Driver for your system and locate the file that
   ends with .inf.
   2.

   Install *ndisgtk* (System → Administration → Synaptic Package Manager
   ).
   3.

   Open *ndisgtk* (System → Administration → Windows Wireless Drivers).
   4.

   Select *Install new driver*.
   5.

   Choose the location of your Windows .inf file and click *Install*.
   6.

   Click *OK*.

in the help forums i cant find ndisgtk in the synaptic thing. I am totally
lost and have no IDEA what to do. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
