Public bug reported:
I installed ndiswrapper from the Ubuntu store in 12.10 AMD to install
windows drivers for a Toshiba C850 -F21E laptop with a Realtek Wireless
adapter which works in Windows 7.
When I try to install the driver it gives an error message saying the
ndiswrapper module does not exist. I presume it is in the kernel.
It loads the driver and says it found the hardware, buut is dos not work.
I think there is a problem that the module is not included and does not
install properly in the kernel.
