    e athor solution is using ndiswrapper to make it easy download the ultimate edition 2.0 distro (is based on ubuntu 8.10) but ndiswrapper is installed standard you don't need internet than search for your windows driver for you wifi and install this with ndiswrapper (xxxx.inf) this is how your windows driver choud look like)
