USB wifi adapter not working

I used ndiswrapper to install a D-link DWA-120 wireless adapter on my roboard (xubuntu). It says that the driver is installed but still there is no wireless connection availible when I go to network configuration. It seems like it doesn't pick up the USB device. I just can't get it working. :( Any ideas please!

Did you install the USB wireless adapter on the fixed USB connector?
Try to use it on the header connecter with the extension cable.
And does your USB adapter work on your router?

No, I still haven't got it working. I also tried the miniPCI VNT6655, but also not working.
