ndiswrapper is bundled with DSL starting with version 0.8.2
If you have the windows inf file then you might try the simple GUI from the main menu->System->Net Setup->ndiswrapper.
If this fails, then you might have to find an inf file that will work with ndiswrapper.

I find ndiswrapper "weird"

Sometimes my card gives that bright green led,
and I've been able to see my network, yet I wasn't able
to configure it properly.
While sometimes it just sits there turned on, but not usable
(wlan0 doesn't exist).
ndiswrapper is great, but i'm still having a hard time with my card.

ico2 wants ndiswrapper but has 0.8.0
aaaaaaaaaahhhh well, will have to get it from packages.debian.org.
i don't even have the wavelan card yet, but when i do, i don't want to be limited to using the very few that have linux drivers supplied.
