Okay, here's how to get the standard Feisty ndiswrapper working:
First, if you used the above method to install ndiswrapper from sourceforge, you may want to remove everything, just to be safe. See the instructions here (http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Uninstall).
Second, at the command line, do the following:
sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
Grab the drivers if you don't have them (http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WPNT511.asp). Then install:
sudo ndiswrapper -i NETANI.INF
Check to see if it installed:
ndiswrapper -l
You should see something like:
netani : driver installed
device (17CB:0001) present
Load up the module:
sudo depmod -a
NOW: To get modprobe to work, need to use module-assistant:
sudo module-assistant prepare
sudo module-assistant auto-install ndiswrapper
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
Make sure you have ndiswrapper in /etc/modules
Reboot and enjoy your wireless.
Note: I tried the latest version on sourceforge, to no avail. That was 1.41. The Feisty one is 1.38, which works perfectly well. In fact, it seems to be working better on Feisty than it did on Edgy (when I compiled it).
