There are lots of postings in this forum with info on how to use Ndiswrapper,
but you should determine that you need to before using that software. The reason
is that it opens up your nice stable kernel to a piece of Windows code with
absolutely no protection against coding errors of the sort that cause "Blue
Screens of Death" on Windows.

Please open a console terminal and run the command 'lspci -nnv' and post the
part that describes your Netgear device. We will then be better able to advise you.
