I don't understand ndiswrapper.. or any linux commands.. but I want to move to linux..

I can't figure out how to use the ndiswrapper setup for my wireless card.. I've tried before and it took me multiple hours for multiple days and then I gave up..

I want to be able to access my laptop from a remote location and u/l and d/l files from it.

Web servers I've been usually lately aren't too reliable.
Anyone have any ideas on how I could set up my wireless card in under an hour?

I'd be willing to use the newest version of Suse also.
I'm a student so I don't have a lot of time to play around with Linux commands and so forth..
However, I would be willing to spend at most an hour a day trying to figure junk out.

Shouldn't there be a model number on the card somewhere?
