Hi, to use ndiswrapper you have to point it to the Windows *.inf file your Wifi card is using.
What you saw was just a suggestion. Yours is quite probably not called netcard.inf.
What I did was copy 3 windows driver files my wifi card was using to my root folder (C: in windows), in my case they were named wlanpci.inf, wlanpci.sys and wlanpci.cat. This was done using windows.
Then I opened up an xterminal window in DSL and mounted my C: drive by using the command ¨mount /dev/hda1¨
When the drive has been mounted you can click on DSLPanel>ndiswrapper and input the complete path to your *.inf file. It should look like this if you copied it to your C: drive: /mnt/hda1/your_inf_file.inf
Leave the device entry as is, but input the SID for your network.
I tried to input my WEP key, but it never worked, I had to disable WEP on my router to get a connection, so I left that entry blank. After clicking OK, you should see the lights come on your card.
If your router is set to allow DHCP, that`s all there is to do.
Hope it helps.
