Exactly. If you don't have it, then go to a terminal and enter:
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
This should put something in System --> Administration --> Windows Wireless Drivers.
If you go there, you should be able to use it to install a Windows Wifi driver. You would want to copy your Windows Wifi driver folder to your Linux partition and then navigate there with "Windows Wireless Drivers". You'll want to select the .inf file there (if there is more than one, you'll have to try them out until you find the one that works--you may have to restart to test if it doesn't work straight away).

If that is the case then you must of used the ndiswrapper drivers to fool the Windows ones.
Perhaps you inadvertently un-installed ndiswrapper?
To find out, type ...
Code:ndiswrapper
... on a console and if it isn't there install it.
Either that or try and find the relevant Linux drivers for the card and distro, if they exist, and install those instead ... but it does sound like an ndiswrapper issue to me.
