I did not get any error. when i type in "modprobe
ndiswrapper" i don't recieve a response from the
terminal. so then i type in iwconfig and it says:
lo     no wireless extensions.

sit0     no wireless extensions.

Three things:
1) Next time try "modprobe -v ndiswrapper".  This will tell you where modprobe is finding ndiswrapper.
2) Immediately after #1, try "dmesg | less" and go to the bottom (shift g).  You will, hopefully, see some output from ndiswrapper attempting to load.
3) "lsmod | less".  Search for ndiswrapper ("/ ndis" is usually sufficient).
