New to ubuntu 12.4 lt dual boot alongside w7x64 install was easy . Ubuntu boots fine

Trying to get usb wifi installed have linux and windows drivers
parked on ubuntu desktop along with ndiswrapper .

lsusb sees usb wifi device but I can't seem to install drivers. ofc it is not natively supported by ubuntu either. I have 2 devices one in use is broadcom 42337 chip other one is realtec rt8192su chip but not in use.

I have downloaded device mfr copies of windows and linux drivers and copied installed win system32 drivers from my pc in win7x64 . all files were moved into Ubuntu via usb thumbdrive .ofc without connectivity in Ubuntu I have to boot into w 7 to download anything .

I'm not able to access and install ndiswrapper or drivers in terminal total newbie to linux but used dos for years some time ago . I guess I'm missing something or totally not understanding the syntax at Ubuntu .Maybe i should read ubuntu for dummies?
