Have you followed instructions and done as below?


   -

   Install *ndiswrapper-utils-1.9* via your preferred method.
   -

   From the terminal run: *sudo ndiswrapper -i
   /your_path_to/wireless_driver.inf*
   -

   We now check if the driver has correctly installed. From the terminal
   run: *ndiswrapper -l*. If all is good you will see the following output:

   sis163u : driver installed
   -

      device (0BF8:100F) present
       -

   Next we do the dependencies and load up the ndiswrapper kernel module.
   Run: *sudo depmod -a* followed by *sudo modprobe ndiswrapper*. This will
   load everything and allow you to use
NetworkManager<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager>to check if any
wireless networks are available.

   Note: Rebooting will drop the module.
   -

   To have the module loaded at every boot add *ndiswrapper* to a newline at
   the bottom of */etc/modules*.

Regards

Phil
