Viiny, here's my output, same as yours (sorry, i don't know how to put it in a box):
mel@mel-desktop:~$ ndiswrapper -h
install/manage Windows drivers for ndiswrapper
usage: ndiswrapper OPTION
-i inffile install driver described by 'inffile'
-a devid driver use installed 'driver' for 'devid' (dangerous)
-r driver remove 'driver'
-l list installed drivers
-m write configuration for modprobe
-ma write module alias configuration for all devices
-mi write module install configuration for all devices
-v report version information
where 'devid' is either PCIID or USBID of the form XXXX:XXXX,
as reported by 'lspci -n' or 'lsusb' for the card
I'm using win 7 64 bit.
I have no idea if i've got -utils and -common, nor can i claim to have a clue of what this package manager is :3

first things first , lets see if dpkg will list your install (I dont know if it will since you compiled and installed) copy and paste this in a terminalCode:dpkg -l | grep ndiswrapper
Code:vinny@Vinnys-HP-G62:~$ dpkg -l | grep ndiswrapper ii ndiswrapper-common 1.57-1ubuntu1 Common scripts required to use the utilities for ndiswrapper ii ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 1.57-1ubuntu1 Userspace utilities for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module vinny@Vinnys-HP-G62:~$

OK so reading over the post it would seam that you coped the driver files to a folder in your home ,,,,yes/no ?
you then installed the somediver.inf from in that folder withCode:ndiswrapper -i somediver.inf
if yes to both the above andCode:ndiswrapper -l
Code:sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
Code:ndiswrapper -m
Code:ndiswrapper -ma
Code:ndiswrapper -mi
Code:sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
