install Wine then use that to install the drivers on a “fake” C:\ drive. Then use Wine to navigate to that C:\ drive and then you will find the prize. the .inf file that can then be used to install with ndiswrapper

Thanks for the info, the driver installation for my new wireless PCI installed without error. Now all I need to do is remember the WEP key of my old network (or I’ll just create another one!).
