That would be a waste of time... He is using a live cd .....
Please explain more..
What Distro?
What Chipset?
Kernel Version?
Distro Version?

ndiswrapper support alot of chipsets "Wireless Cards" but not all you might have to use madwifi or bcm43xxx-fwcutter
I would not waste time trying to get wireless running on a live distro because once you reboot everything is gone..
Aloso just a advice if you go to the support forum for your distro you probably find the answer to your question there already... I take you are using ubuntu...
