   Looking for information on the above using Ubuntu 6.06.   
   (Insert Linux newbie warning here !!)   
      
   IBM T21 Thinkpad, dual boot with Win XP/Linux.   
   Wireless network for (old) desktop, two laptops   
   and printer has been running Windows for 2+ years.   
      
   AFAIK . . . There are no Linux drivers available for   
   the USR 5410 card. I did however, find a program,   
   'NdisWrapper', http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/,   
   which should allow the native Win driver to work.   
      
   So far, so good.   
      
   Whilst checking the files on the Ubuntu CD (burned   
   from an .iso) prior to installation to the HD, I noted :   
      
   /pool/main/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-utils_1.8-oubuntu2_i386.deb   
      
   It appears that this program is included in the install   
   of Ubuntu 6.06 as I now have a network icon in the   
   top right corner of the screen and the 'red' light on the   
   card illuminated (this never happened under the    
   previous Mandrake install which I have now removed)   
      
   Two questions :   
      
   1) Where is the directory containing 'ndiswrapper' ?   
      
   2) The USB driver is (obviously) a Win .exe file.   
   I now have a copy of it on the Ubuntu desktop,   
   what do I now need to do to install it in Ubuntu ?   
      
   Any help appreciated !
