Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
Release: 12.04

ndiswrapper-dkms 1.57-1ubuntu1

I do not know how to describe it, except that I am trying to install a driver for a NetGear A6200 wireless network card and while I get the errors, it says that the software is installed and that the hardware is detected, but it is not possible to detect a wireless network in my own home, when I already have another computer (a laptop) that has a built in wireless adapter and it works just fine. The computer that this wireless adapter is attached to is about 15 to 18 feet from the router...

I know that lots of people say that they cannot make the A6200 work with Linux, but unfortunately, I did not learn of this until after I had purchased it...

If a solution could be found it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much.
