ndiswrapper - am I going bananas?

[creaky]

Hello, I've just installed Kubuntu from kubuntu-6.06-dvd-i386.iso on my IBM laptop, wich has a Linksys wifi card. This has replaced vector linux, under which I was able to get the hardware combo working using ndiswrapper. However, when I try to do the same under Kubuntu, bash doesn't recognise the ndiswrapper command, suggesting to me that it isn't installed. I've enabled every single repositry that wasn't enabled in Adept, updated, and can't find Ndiswrapper or the Ndisrapeer tools that the Ubuntu wireless wiki suggests I need. What am I missing here, surely I don't need to complie something as essential as ndisrapper from source?

It's quite likely I'm missing something really easy, so can anyone help me, as this is driving me bananas!

This package contains the userspace tools. The default Ubuntu kernel
already provides the required modules.

Of course, you don't!

You should be looking for the package "ndiswrapper-utils". I believe that it's in main. To quote the package description: "This package contains the userspace tools. The default Ubuntu kernel already provides the required modules."
