Hello!
Looking briefly on the Web, it would seem that the WMDA3100 uses the wl driver. However, the procedure *I* saw was written four years ago. A lot has changed for the better in the world of Ubuntu since then.
These days, ndiswrapper should only be used as an absolute last resort. Besides, the Broadcom drivers are now quite well supported in Ubuntu.
Try removing any previous Broadcom drivers you may have installed before now, as trying to use more than one at a time will DEFINITELY cause problems for you!
In a terminal window, try this:
And then this:
Reboot, and your adapter should now be recognized. If not, we'll get some specifics about exactly what chipset your wireless dongle is using, and go from there...
