Got it going by installing ndisgtk & extracting the file manually to my desktop & using ndisgtk(GUI for ndiswapper) to add the driver.

But probs connecting using WPA

Howto: To install madwifi drivers if they are not already preinstalled in gutsy, so first just try using them if they're not installed follow this link

To get WPA2 CCMP PSK working:

sudo apt-get install wpa_supplicant 

Create a file called wpa_supplicant.conf in your /etc directory

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

paste the following into that file

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
# ap_scan=2 maybe 0 or 1 just try
ap_scan=2
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="your network SSID goes here"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk="your passprase for wpa2 network goes here"
}

next make the file executable

Code:

chmod 777 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Then execute this command from terminal to connect to your wpa network
(you might have to exchange the -iath0 with your wifi device name. so -ieth0 of -iwlan0 you get the right one my executing iwconfig in terminal)

This should start the network and connect to your accesspoint.
if it works you can add the -B option to the line which makes it run in the background

Code:

wpa_supplicant -w -Dmadwifi -iath0 -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

the only thing is that this works if your using the madwifi dirver ( -Dmadwifi ), so if you can't install that one I don't know how ndiswrapper should work with this.

Hope this works. credit goes to Xploitz
