Use these commands to install ndiswrapper to get your wireless working: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9, sudo apt-get install ndisgtk. Extract the .inf file from the WIndows driver installation program (running under wine or previously extracted)  and then go to System -> Administration -> Windows Wireless Drivers. Then find the .inf file you extracted and your wireless should work. That's the easiest way to do it in my opinion.
