I'm new to Ubuntu. I have downloaded ndiswrapper-1.59.tar.gz and I ran: 

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-1.59.tar.gz

and I get this:

Reading package lists ... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information ... Done
E: It has not been able to locate the package ndiswrapper-1.59.tar.gz
E: Could not find any package with the regular expression "ndiswrapper-1.59.tar.gz"

I need this to install drivers for my Wireless network card.

You need to extract the downloaded file with the command:

tar zxvf ndiswrapper-1.59.tar.gz

This will create ndiswrapper-1.59 directory. Change to that directory and run

  make uninstall
  make
  sudo make install

There are more instructions in the INSTALL file inside the ndiswrapper-1.59 directory. You must read them to understand how to use this tool.

Also, I guess there is ndiswrapper package in Ubuntu repo which you can install using:

sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
