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.

Nope, that is not the problem.

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