I tried to install Ubuntu 6.06 on the same laptop (where previously v 5 was installed successfully, including the wireless network card), but after a couple of hours stumbling around with the partitioner (guided or manually) I decided to quit trying. The partitioner (incredibly slow) could not find partitions in the first place. Then I used Fedora 5 to partition the disk (20 G, with 11 G Windows 2000) , and reinstalled Ubuntu again. Formatting the disk stopped at 15%, and quit with errors.
So, very unfortunately, I am not able te retest the ndiswrapper on Ubuntu. I guess I'll have to wait for the next release. Installing from a live CD is a cool idea, but in practice it only works under very specific conditions, so it seems.
