I'm looking for the programs ndiswrapper and WINE by using the Ubuntu Software tool on ubuntu 19.10, but they are not present. Where I can find them?

Thank you for your time.

Both packages are present in the repos. Beware that ndiswrapper is obsolete and practically useless in 99% of cases. – Pilot6 Jan 21 '20 at 12:12
Hello @Pilot6, what is repos? I need them because i want to install the netgear wifi adapter wna3100 – Gennaro Arguzzi Jan 21 '20 at 12:18
Repos = repositories. It is completely wrong way to install drivers this way. It won't work. You better search for wna3100 solutions or ask a new question. This is XY problem – Pilot6 Jan 21 '20 at 12:23
Thank you @Pilot6 I found a solution about ubuntu 16.04, can i ask the same question for ubuntu 19.10? https://askubuntu.com/questions/839947/netgear-n-300-wna3100-usb-adapter-for-ubuntu-16-04# – Gennaro Arguzzi Jan 21 '20 at 12:42
This solution should work for 19.10. – Pilot6 Jan 21 '20 at 12:42
I agree with @Pilot6 ndiswrapper is not the way to go. WINE is pretty useless IMHO also. – heynnema Jan 21 '20 at 13:03
@Pilot6 OPs linked solution also uses ndiswrapper. – heynnema Jan 21 '20 at 13:04
Redo your question and ask about the real solution that you're asking for... how to make the Netgear wifi adapter wna3100 work with 19.10. – heynnema Jan 21 '20 at 13:10
Well ndiswrapper is the last resort when nothing else works and WinXP drivers are still available. – Pilot6 Jan 21 '20 at 13:48
Ok, thank you so much for the precoius suggestions. – Gennaro Arguzzi Jan 21 '20 at 15:18
@Pilot6 can you write the links of the installation files of ndiswrapper and wine please? – Gennaro Arguzzi Jan 22 '20 at 12:49
That solution contains installation of ndiswraper. Wine is installed by sudo apt install wine. – Pilot6 Jan 22 '20 at 12:51
