Have you followed instructions and done as below?
-
Install *ndiswrapper-utils-1.9* via your preferred method.
-
From the terminal run: *sudo ndiswrapper -i
/your_path_to/wireless_driver.inf*
-
We now check if the driver has correctly installed. From the terminal
run: *ndiswrapper -l*. If all is good you will see the following output:
sis163u : driver installed
-
device (0BF8:100F) present
-
Next we do the dependencies and load up the ndiswrapper kernel module.
Run: *sudo depmod -a* followed by *sudo modprobe ndiswrapper*. This will
load everything and allow you to use
NetworkManager<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager>to check if any
wireless networks are available.
Note: Rebooting will drop the module.
-
To have the module loaded at every boot add *ndiswrapper* to a newline at
the bottom of */etc/modules*.

Phil
