Comment 15 for bug 986064

I used the packages in the repos.

ndisgtk (0.8.5-1)
ndiswrapper-common (1.57-1ubuntu1)
ndiswrapper-dkms (1.57-1ubuntu1)
ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 (1.57-1ubuntu1)

The problem seems to be that ndiswrapper-dkms does not install as a dependency. After installing ndiswrapper-dkms, I was able to use the rt2500.inf driver from WindowsXP. As a note, I was not able to use the rt2500pci kernel driver after installing and uninstalling ndiswrapper, even after un-blacklisting it. The wireless adapter would connect for about 2 minutes and then lose the ability to connect to any networks.
