First download Ndiswrapper:

1) http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/

Then install your kernel headers and compilation packages:

2) sudo apt-get install build-essential

Unzip the ndiswrapper package. Navigate to the folder and issue:

3) make

The issue:

4) sudo make install

Your done. Add Ndiswrapper to autostart on boot:

sudo nano /etc/modules

Add ndiswrapper to the bottom of the list. And blacklist bcm43xx to prevent conflict:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Add “blacklist bcm43xx” to the bottom of the list.

Instantly load the ndiswrapper module to get your WiFi working without rebooting:

sudo rmmod ndiswrapper && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Now, could this be any easier :) Send a comment if your having trouble :(
