That's why I didn't buy one.

So, if you checked on google first, you would not have purchased either
one of those. See, your learning.

Another lesson learned! You didn't install everything required.

VT1 root-3-TESTING:~# apt-cache search ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper-common - Common scripts required to use the utilities for ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper-source - Source for the ndiswrapper linux kernel module
ndiswrapper-utils - Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper-utils-1.1 - Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 - Userspace utilities for the ndiswrapper linux kernel module

I do not want to use ndiswrapper. I did a lot of searching for, not
only a Wireless card, but one that would function on Linux. I don't
know anything about how to use ndiswrapper so can't you with it.

I can tell you that _installing_ it is no different then installing
the madwifi drivers. If you learn how to install it, you are well on
your way. Don't forget Google. The ndiswrapper _is_ used on linux by
a lot of people and many have pointed out how they accomplished it, on
Google.

Good Luck!
