Hi
The main steps (as root/sudo):
1) Make sure your card is powered.
2) Install ndiswrapper with Synaptic/Apritude/dpkg.
3) Unpack the Windows driver and locate the inf file.
4) Install the inf file: "ndiswrapper -i <file.inf>".
5) Check that the card is there and recognised: "ndiswrapper -l".
6) If you're happy, run "ndiswrapper -m" so that the module is loaded at
startup.
7) Load the kernel module "modprobe ndiswrapper".
8) Configure the connection in /etc/network/interfaces. Use ifconfig and
iwconfig to help. I'd make sure the interface is not marked as "auto"
until it's been tested manually.
9) Bring up the interface.
I think that's it. I'm pretty sure you can load the module at the end,
in number 7), but just in case I'm wrong, you might want to try to load
it earlier.
