The hardware should be supported, but the driver you need isn't being
loaded. It looks like you've installed ndiswrapper, which shouldn't be
necessary for your hardware, and I'm wondering if you somehow ended up
blacklisting the driver you need. Try opening a terminal and running
this command:

$ modprobe -nv pci:v00008086d00004229sv00008086sd00001100bc02sc80i00

That should print a list of "insmod" commands with the last one loading
iwl4965.ko. If it prints nothing then the driver is probably
blacklisted. In that case run:

$ grep iwl4965 /etc/modprobe.d/*

and see if it turns up anything which looks like "blacklist iwl4965". If
so, open the file which contains this line (as root) and either delete
the line or comment it out by adding a # character to the start of that
line. Then the modprobe command should print the list of insmod
commands, and running it without the "-nv" part should load the module
and give you working wifi.

If the modprobe command prints something different, please paste the
output here so I can look at it. In any case I think you can remove
ndiswrapper-dkms unless you're using it for some other wireless
hardware.
