NDISWrapper

Try to remove the module ath_pci to let ndiswrapper to use the wifi.
"sudo rmmod ath_pci" or "sudo modprobe -r ath_pci"

also try put that module in the blacklist of modprobe to avoid his
loading on the startup:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-common

Insert this line:
blacklist ath_pci

Then restart.
When u will boot again.
Load the windows driver it from the uncompress folder:
#ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf
then install to modprobe
#ndiswrapper -m

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

root@eric-laptop:~# ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf
Installing net5211
couldn't copy net5211.inf at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.8 line 144.

What's the deal?

"ndiswrapper -i" requires either the full pathname, or else
to be executed in the directory with the .inf file

Well I extracted all of the driver files to my desktop.

I don't think that is the problem but i'll check.

Have you looked at line 144 to see what it is choking on? It may shed some light on the problem.
