Edit-

When I try to do the cammand "sudo ndiswrapper -m" it says "modprobe config already contains alias." And when I reboot, I have to set up the card all over ("sudo depmod -a" then "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper")

Demosthenes,

More information please:

- What version of DSL?
- What computer are you running? (Laptop/ Desktop/ Model)
- Which wireless card are you trying to install and which version of the driver are you using?
- Any other relevant information such as dmesg output.

Someone might then be able to help.

Regards,

Jonam

If your successful with using manual commands and have the card working then add those commands to your /opt/bootlocal.sh.
Typically I have the following in my /opt/bootlocal.sh

# put other system startup command here
mount /mnt/hda1
ndiswrapper -i /mnt/hda1/Program\ Files/Airlink101/AWLC4030/net5211.inf
sleep 1
modprobe ndiswrapper
sleep 3
iwconfig wlan0 key xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx essid my_sid_name
pump -i wlan0
