How to install D-Link G-132 in Ubuntu (32 bits only)

I've tried to install my old wireless adapter, but with no satisfactory results. I've read a lot of posts I found in the internet, but none of them worked.

When I was about to give it up, I found one great article from a guy from brazil nick named Vindemiatrix (based on its forum domain , i assume) who solved the problem.

Well, I'm not going to "copy/paste"the whole post, I'm only referencing the article so other people could use it as well.

Basically, he downloaded ndiswrapper, the drivers from d-link official site, and then installed them.

The only thing I have to mention, is that it only works on 32 bits architecture. I've tried with 64 bits with no successful results (dmesg warms about the problem with 64 bits).

I hope this helps anybody else in the same situation!.
