ndiswrapper lets you use the Windows drivers for the card. The .inf file is on the installation medium for the wireless card. When you install a driver in Windows, it looks for the .inf file to determine what to install. ndiswrapper does the same. So if you have the driver on a diskette or CD, mount that first, then give ndiswrapper the full path to the .inf file.

My knowledge here is purely second-hand. I don't use ndiswrapper; I only get machines with Intel wireless which is well supported in Linux. Do you know what chipset your Asus card uses? If it's a Broadcom, I'd visit their website because I just noticed they've announced native Linux drivers for their cards, which in the past have been horrible to support.
