How to Install a Wireless Card in Linux Using Windows Drivers

Howtogeek posted a tutorial about installing a Wireless Card in Linux Using Windows Drivers
Linux has come a long way with hardware support, but if you have a wireless card that still does not have native Linux drivers you might be able to get the card working with a Windows driver and ndiswrapper.
Using a Windows driver inside of Linux may also give you faster transfer rates or better encryption support depending on your wireless card.
If your wireless card is working, it is not recommended to install the Windows driver just for fun because it could cause a conflict with the native Linux driver
