not sure what this refers to :" use ndisgtk with the windows driver"

instead of typing that, you could have done a little research of your own.

ndisgtk is a gui to ndiswrapper which allow linux users to use the windows .inf and .sys files to make wireless work.

You may also benefit fom using a wired connection and getting fully updated

Can you help with this problem?
