you probably don't need to install the windoze drivers that are on the cd.

have you tried your wireless first without installing anything to see if it works?

I just got the sound adapter but ndiswrapper isn't working for me.it says "hardware present" but the wlan0 won't come online

It turns out the chipset is BCM4323 broadcom is your rev2 atheros?anyhow the simple fact is that even though loading the inf says "hardware present" and it installs it doesn't for me at least.anyone here able to give me a hand?first time i've used ndiswrapper before
