John,

   I've no idea whether a Windoze driver is available for this model.
Apparently, ndiswrapper was designed for WinXP.

   It might have been nice to have wireless connectivity for this little
portable but it's not essential. I bought it to read PDF files, particularly
1000+ page technical ones, both at and away from home and it will serve this
purpose quite well.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Rich
