Trying to setup ndiswrapper

[Paul Thompson]

Hi I am trying to install ndis wrapper on my Dell 9100 laptop I have
followed the How To 'Configure wireless cards with Broadcom chipsets'
All appears to have gone well but then when I try to do the last
instruction  sed -e 's/RadioState|1/RadioState|0/'
/etc/ndiswrapper/bcmw15/*.conf I find that there is no
/etc/ndiswrapper

I am a newbie and admit that I do not really understand what I am
doing, can someone please help. Below is a print out of my screen
