"winbond is not supported in linux nor does ndiswrapper support it." or something similiar.

Many were in other languages too.


So for me it's back to Winblows. Oh well. At least I have the actual install disc

You could always get a PCcard or usb wireless adapter. It will likely work better anyway. Then you can run Kismet
You should search first for compatibility.
