Hi Paul
I came across this site as I was searching how to make my new WG111v3 usb adaptor work under mandriva 2008 (I'll try it on my ubuntu machine later) - that has ndiswrapper installed and, like yours, didn't work. Your posting gave me the clue as to where to look (as well as reading the ndiswrapper manpage), so if you, or anyone else is still having problems, this is how it is done.
The wg111v3 comes with a setup.exe file, rather than the raw inf and other files, so the trick is to extract the files that you need from it. I have wine installed so I simply ran it under wine and went back to harvest the necessary files - you might also use an extraction tool such as filejuicer to get at them, or even use setup on a windows machine!
You need
WG111v3.inf which is in .wine/c/windows/inf/
wg111v3.sys which is in .wine/c/windows/system32
I also included
wg111v3.cat which is in .wine/c/windows/inf/WG111v3/Vista64
but I don't know if you actually need it
the .wine file is usually in your home folder, c may also be called drive_c or fake_windows
Copy these files to a folder somewhere and use them to configure the ndiswrapper. The mandriva wireless configuration tool in the control centre worked fine after that (when I remembered to actually plug in the adaptor) and automatically installed the extra files needed for wpa encryption; I am sure the ubuntu tools will work equally well.

Starting with a https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Entertainment&id=1327 grocery list manager for Firefox... it's a weird one, but it might just work, all week I'm in front of the computer thinking about food, this might remind Clare and I of what we need to buy. It might however prompt me to click on things like lemongrass and mangos that are never ever going to get eaten. We have pretty much the same seven meals every week, and I love them, though I know Clare gets bored with soya mince...
Hmm, thought some more, be so much nicer if this ws a collaborative effort, like all these Web2.0 things are these days. Not that I'd want masses of anonymous webmongs updating my shopping list, but I'd really like for Clare and I to both be able to update this form work, and then print it out from home. If we had a printer at home, yeah, getting round to it... maybe this week's job will be finding the driver for the existing printer so we can print? Would really like a scanner again though, I have a stack of old photos that I'd like to put up on Flickr. Not keen on owning a printer though really, it feels like such a scam - they're dead cheap but consumables (ink) are too pricey...
Also, google chat embedded into mail.google.com? What's that all about? Don't think google chat is fully integrated with gmail yet, but right now you can opt to have your chat history archived within gmail, so you can refer to it later. I assume it'll work even though I use the Trillian client instead of google chat itself. UPDATE: yes it does, my fascinating chat with Stu about Vincent Gallo ebaying himself is now saved for posterity...
Also, AAAAHHH, a frozen squirrel fell out of a tree and crashed a car.
