Return/sell/ditch that one and get a card that works natively in linux. Something with a prism54 chipset or zd1201 chipset (for just B) will make you really happy. NDISWrapper rarely works well, and often doesn't even work well enough to get by. But it's a great thing to have for built-in wireless cards. There's no need to experience that pain when using an external device. Save your sanity. Return/sell/ditch that one and get a card that works natively in linux.
