-Perform following in root.
apt-get update
apt-cache search ndiswrapper
-In it you can find ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
packages. Install them by,
apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
-Change the folder to where the windows XP drivers for your network device is.
ndiswrapper -i filename.inf

modprobe ndiswrapper
Add the line "ndiswrapper" (without quotes) at the end of the file
/etc/modules using command "sudo gedit /etc/modules" to load the
