Miker107,
I've got no experience with using ndiswrapper myself, but found this link that might help you: http://faq.apollo3.com/ljames/ubuntu/networksupport/.
The link says person used WINE to get at the drivers. I also have zero experience with WINE, so can't help with that either. My thought is that if you have a Windows computer handy, maybe you can run the setup it talks about on that instead of installing WINE to Linux. Then, just copy the file you need from there to a USB stick and transfer it to LL. Then continue on with instructions. But, I'm only guessing that you can do that -- I have zero experience with any of this.
Maybe someone else with experience can look at procedure and offer more pointers.
If all else fails, you could get a different USB wifi stick that does work. Here are a few of models that should work fine:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6833166068
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6833166055
You can check out other models on the site, click the customer reviews tab, then filter results for keyword "linux" to see what people say about them. You can use this info to buy one wherever you want -- not trying to push Newegg. I have used similar models of brand I pointed out in links above and had no problems with them. (I think mine are older models of the second link.)
