I am sorry for being such a newbie (I have barely worked with Linux with anything in regard to hardware), but...
would apt-get (or aptitude) install ndiswrapper-module ndiswrapper-utils wpasupplicant suffice? I imagine I would need to do something else like # modprobe <module coming with one or more of above packages> and # echo <module coming with one or more of above packages> >> /etc/modules Is there anything else?
