6. Install wireless Windows drivers
Step 1
In my case all I needed to do was locate the .inf and .sys files on the
wireless installation CD for Windows XP that came with the USB device. Some drivers come
with additional firmware files and they should be in the same directory as the .inf and .sys files.
So just copy the entire folder with all extra files to a desired location in your Linux system.

Step 2
Navigate to the new wireless Windows driver folder you just copied from your CD or elsewhere and run these commands in CLI.
| sudo ndiswrapper -i driver.inf |
| sudo ndiswrapper -l |
The last command should report this.
"driver present, hardware present"
If only driver is present and not hardware or vice versa then your wireless isn't setup right yet. Something is wrong!
