The details in the link I posted almost works.

It loaded the driver but did not load the driver module.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper has more details

All I did was run the two commands:

sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Everything now working!

This technique is unlikely to work in Ubuntu 8.10.

I wrote this article more than a year ago. Even when it was working, the card was not very reliable, I have given up on this card now.

Hey Adam,
I’m on 8.10, and followed everything in this article. You’d imagine it’d work, because it’s newer, but it doesn’t.
Is there any other thing that I could try to get it to work?
Thanks,
Existence.

Have a look in your kernel log (dmesg | less) and see if there are any errors reported.

Hi Adam,
thanks for you posts. I tried all of them,but still im getting these errors(seperately) whenever I try to ifup wlan0:

wlanctl-ng: no such device
..
..
wlan0:ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
..
..
failed to bring up wlan0.

Do you have any idea why this error is coming?
Thanks again for you fabulas posts.

Cheers,
Rud
