I have really bad luck with source code and the ndiswrapper, the first 
and second one would have worked, but the cd that came with my wireless 
doesnt offer the required files (there hidden somewhere and i cant find 
them no matter what i do, and yes i did try extracting the setup.exe 
with no luck). I also downloaded the drivers from their website with the 
same results.

the third one just flat out didnt work because that one reguards a 
different device. sure the drivers are the same, but it didnt work. no 
error message was produced, i followed the guide to the letter, but i 
couldnt get it to work for some reason

the following is telling the kernel that when i plug in the device, do 
this, this wont help for compiling, but if i can get it to compile, this 
would be of great help

im thinking, since my friend is giving me his computer (because he found 
a "better" one), ill just install ubuntu on that, upgrade this one, and 
share the internet (unless thats bad? ive always had good luck with 
internet connection sharing)

but until that comes in, im using parallels and im sharing my wireless 
on that. im downloading ubuntu 7.04 alternate for it as im typing this
