Ok so i found out ubuntu has no drivers for my wireless card so im going to have to use ndiswrapper, can someone walk me through installing it and getting it to work on my computer, i have no internet connection on my computer either i know that has to make some kind of difference.

Can you tell us which card you have? Open a terminal and type in and post the line with your card in it.

it isn't a pci card, its a usb card so wouldn't it be
instead?
when i do that i get this output for the adapter
i know there are no linux drivers for this yet, ive already been there done that. I just need someone to walk me through how to install and get ndiswrapper working

Not walking you through but giving hints and suggestions:

System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager: install ndisgtk
it will pull in two more files and give you a GUI
You find it here:
System --> Administration --> Windows Wireless Drivers

have your windows drivers ready

Apart from that I got the Impression (reading the threads at Ubuntu and puppy forums, that this (pretty recent) device might be supported by the realtek driver and could well work natively.

ndisgtk is not an option in the System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager

yes it is - use the search field, start with "ndis" and watch
(you are right that its not an option - the program is a nice GUI to the package manager and you use it to search for and (de)install software, very comfortably)

You may need to update your software repositories.
...which is really basic system administration and is well documented (I'd say even intuitive when browsing the menus)

how do i update my repositories, because i tried searching as well and nothing came up

how does
System --> Administration --> Software Sources
sound?

even without internet - using your install cd - you can install what you need here
I just did, to know exactly what I'm talking about.
If you never changed anything then the CD should still be active as a source and thus its contents be available.

tick every box on the first tab except for "source"
- as I said:
I have just the CD-ROM active as of now.

klick the link and read

ok so i got all i needed installed thanks for that and now when i go into the Windows Wireless Drivers, and then i click Install New Driver, i found the cdrom and the driver folders but what one to i select, there are Vista_x64, Vista_x86, XP_2K, and XP_x64

ok i tried all them none worked but one, the driver name is net8192su.inf, when i installed it it said unable to see if hardware is present, but after i click ok it shows the driver and then says Hardware present:Yes, my next question is how do i connect now? It wont detect any networks

ndiswrapper is a service which needs to be started, I suppose.

and

is all I can give you - they do it the manual way, which is better IMO.
...or you ask Google or the Ubuntu documentation some more.

You took some file and don't even know if it is the right one.
I'd take the driver made for XP - the one in the XP_2K folder you mentioned.

No more I can say since my Ubuntu is a virtual machine and I don't have your adapter anyway.

And still - the realtek driver might even work.
or one from /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

Good luck!

and I found this:
http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3007713
pointing to here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?zxgmyniz2hd
a driver and firmware for RTL8192SU

Which probably means the modules I suggested to try above (rtl8180...) are not worth trying.

Looks good.
Will have to build it from source however.
