I recently got a Linksys WPC54G wifi card working in my laptop using
ndiswrapper. I ran into a very frustrating roadblock during the
process, though, that was caused by one of the PC Card slots on my
lappy being dead. So, if you have difficulty getting your card
detected, try it in a different slot.

Just a helpful tip from my experience.
