Driverloader (www.linuxant.com/driverloader) is exactly the same
technology as ndiswrapper but is perhaps easier to play with. They
charge $20 for a licence but it's easy to see if it works at all during

The above menthods were the only way I could get a Buffalo 54g PCMCIA
card going on my laptop.
