Hi,
I've tried googling and searching here but no luck.

I found the instruction for ndiswrapper and driver install here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to...xpress_Adapter

Followed the WPA instructions here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...&highlight=wpa

it still dont work, so I did the debug commands at the end:
sudo dhclient -r wlan0 && ifconfig wlan0 down && killall wpa_supplicant
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -w -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
"yoguess@yoguess-laptop:~$ sudo dhclient -r wlan0 && ifconfig wlan0 down && killall wpa_supplicant

no such file or directory - I'm a newbie and so i'm stuck
Ubuntu can find the router with SSID but cant connect to it even though I followed all directions and entered the key in using Wireless assistant

help please

I'm not sure if this is your only problem, but it looks like you need to install wpa_supplicant; it should be in the the Ubuntu package manager. By the way, your link to thinkwiki did not work.
