OK so I got Ndiswrapper installed, the Realtek 8187b Win98 driver is
installed, if I issue all the modprobe commands, there are no errors. The
GUI for Ndiswrapper tells me the drive is installed and the hardware is
present.
However, if I go to Network settings, the wireless adapter does NOT show up.
I've tried forcing the load, everything. Still no-show.
HELP!
Have you followed instructions and done as below?
a.. Install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 via your preferred method.
b.. From the terminal run: sudo ndiswrapper -i
/your_path_to/wireless_driver.inf
c.. 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
a.. device (0BF8:100F) present
d.. 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 to check if any wireless
networks are available.
Note: Rebooting will drop the module.
e.. To have the module loaded at every boot add ndiswrapper to a newline at
the bottom of /etc/modules.

Phil
