how to use ndiswrapper to install wnda3100 v2 adaptor driver
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr and I am a newbie.
I am using an older desktop Dell Dimension E520 and WNDA3100 v2 adaptor for the WIFI.
I have tried using the WINE program to install the "Netgear WNDA3100v2 Genie program". Apparently it does not work at all.
I have installed Ndiswrapper, and downloaded the "bcmn43xx64.inf" and "bcmwlhigh5.inf". Moreover, I put these two .inf files into the download folder.
Could anyone show me the steps showing how to use Ndiswrapper to install the inf in the terminal?
I have tried using "sudo ndiswrapper -i .inf. But up to no avail.
Thanks in advance!
I did what you instructed me to do.
but the error came up:
Couldn't open bcmn43xx64.inf No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
-1.9 line 162
any solution?

Please open a terminal and change directories to the location of the files:
cd ~/Downloads
Install the driver:
sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmn43xx64.inf
sudo ndiswrapper -ma
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
Check:
ndiswrapper -l
If all has gone well, it will report that the driver is installed and the hardware is present. If your wireless doesn't start as expected, check for messages in the log:
dmesg | grep ndis
