Unbuntu Question

[nathan]

I've setup a dual boot system today, with XP and Unbuntu. I think im starting to get the hang of unbuntu (first time linux user). But i have a few problems, some of which are silly ones;

Firstly, i'm trying to get my wireless PCI card working, its the netgear WG311v3, i understand there isnt any drivers for this (linux wise), so im going to have to use the ndiswrapper with some win drivers. i've downloaded ndiswrapper (a .deb file). but i cannot install the damn thing. there's no menu that says install when i right click it :S

Second problem, which i havent looked at much as of yet, is my tv card, its a nebula one, they dont offer the drivers on their site, so is there anyway around this?

thanks for any help

For the deb issue, iirc, you wanna open up a shell, cd to the dir with the deb file and run dpkg -i blahblah.deb.. haven't used Debian for a while but I think that is how it goes.. or you could just open up apt-get (or a frontend like synaptic or aptitude) and see if it's in the apt servers.
