Hi Larry,
            if you are using 7.10 then it is automajically installed as 
soon as it's plugged in (I use them all the time at work)and you don't 
need ndiswrapper, If however you are using anything earlier then I 
couldn't get it to work properly at all. So my advice would be to 
upgrade ASAP.
