* Get the Windows XP driver from the supplied install CD or from the manufacturer website.
* Unpack the driver files in a location of your choice on your system.
* Install 'ndiswrapper-utils-1.9' via your preferred method.
* From the terminal run: sudo ndiswrapper -i /your_path_to/driver.inf
* We now check if the driver has correctly installed. From the terminal run: 'ndiswrapper -l'. If all is good you will see similar to the following output:

  sis163u : driver installed
            device (0BF8:100F) present

   Note: Above output is an example only.
* Next we do the dependencies and load up the ndiswrapper kernel module. Run: 'sudo depmod -a' followed by 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'. This will load everything and allow you to use NetworkManager to check if any wireless networks are available.
   Note: Rebooting will drop the module.
* To have the module loaded at every boot add: ndiswrapper to a newline at the bottom of the file /etc/modules.

Can you help with this problem?
