Beware of laptop hardware configuration...
Seems that Toshiba give the wireless card a USB address instead of a PCI address.

Beware when it comes to wireless driver installation. Default install is to a PCI address, and a manual install of the driver is warranted.

From command line:

HTML Code:
user@usersbox:~$ ndiswrapper --help
install/manage Windows drivers for ndiswrapper

usage: ndiswrapper OPTION
-i inffile install driver described by 'inffile'
-a devid driver use installed 'driver' for 'devid' (dangerous)
-r driver remove 'driver'
-l list installed drivers
-m write configuration for modprobe
-ma write module alias configuration for all devices
-mi write module install configuration for all devices
-v report version information
where 'devid' is either PCIID or USBID of the form XXXX:XXXX,
as reported by '
HTML Code:
lspci
-n' or '
HTML Code:
lsusb
' for the card
