I grabbed the same file and indeed it's a windows executable and not a zip or self-extracting zip as first hoped.

If you run it under WINE it craps out part way through, however not before unpacking it in ~/.wine/drive_c/SWSetup/SP38586

I had a look in there and there's setup.exe and some cab files for the installation (which halted as mentioned above). I then unpacked it with "unshield" and lo-and-behold there's a bunch of driver directories...

unshield x data1.cab

The RT2860_Driver_XP2k directory is probably what you need for ndiswrapper?
