Install Driver DWL-520+ on ubuntu 9.10

Finally after I tried to find many ways to use My OLD PCI Wireless Card on Ubuntu 9.10, I found the easy way to use it by follow this instruction.

'https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper'

Install the ndisgtk package from the Ubuntu repositories.
$> sudo apt-get install ndisgtk

Download Driver for my wireless card.
$> wget ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwl520+/Driver/dwl520+_drivers_307.zip

Extract the Driver
$> unzip dwl520+_drivers_307.zip

Installing Windows driver
$> sudo ndiswrapper -i Drivers/WinXP/AIRPLUS.INF

Automatically loading at start-up
$> sudo echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules

==TaTsHuYa==
Load the new driver module
$> sudo depmod -a
$> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Outstanding! Thanks for doing a great job; you can even copy/paste your commands they are perfect!
