ran ndiswrapper using netathw.inf
(root@twisted-klikit:/home/rgartin/Downloads/xp3264-7.4.2.111-whql# ndiswrapper -i netathw.inf)
opened a root konqueror window (Launch->System->Root Actions->Konqueror-Superuser Mode) and navigated to (/etc/modprobe.d)
opened the "blacklist" file with kwrite and added:
# Atheros AR5007EG (Ubuntu detects it as AR5006EG so we use ndiswrapper...)"
blacklist ath_pci
after the "blacklist eth1394" entry, then saved the file.
then I ran the following ndiswrapper commands:
(root@twisted-klikit:/home/rgartin/Downloads/xp3264-7.4.2.111-whql# ndiswrapper -ma)
(root@twisted-klikit:/home/rgartin/Downloads/xp3264-7.4.2.111-whql# ndiswrapper -mi)
(root@twisted-klikit:/home/rgartin/Downloads/xp3264-7.4.2.111-whql# ndiswrapper -m)
after rebooting, I was able to see wlan0 when using ifconfig -a
(root@twisted-klikit:/home/rgartin/Downloads/xp3264-7.4.2.111-whql# ifconfig -a)

In the "Wireless Assistant" I could see my network (twisted) and another one but could not connect to either one.
Tried configuring "wlan0" using "KNetworkManager" but it wouldn't take.
Upon furhter research, I came across this thread in the Ubuntu forums.
Using the last post on this page as an example, I edited my /etc/network/interfaces file Again, I opened a "root konqueror" window
and navigating to "/etc/network" and opened the "interfaces" file and added the info for my network.
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up ifconfig wlan0 down
wireless-essid MY_ESSID
wireless-key WEP_KEY_HERE
wireless-mode managed
saved the file and rebooted my laptop again. When I logged back in, I was wireless finally.
