Download the latest ndiswrappersource code ndiswrapper from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper
Compile and install ndiswrapper. It's easy to go to ndiswrapper/driver, and run make install in the utils directory to install the corresponding kernel modules and tools.
Install the winXP driver for the NIC:
Run ndiswrapper-I xxxxxxx. INF.
Run ndiswrapper-l to check whether the installation is successful? If "xxxxxx driver present, hardware present" is displayed, the installation is successful.
Load module and run ndiswrapper-m
