installing ndiswrapper

I have a Belkin N300 wireless usb adapter in my usb port and I am trying to install the driver. I downloaded ndiswrapper into Suse 12.1. I can't seem to get it to install. From the GUI, I put the file into sbin, what are the commands to install it from CLI? Any suggestions, this is not urgent.

Solved; I found the answer in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...er-4175422460/. I installed the driver using Yast. Network devices DHCP. Thanks for the help.
