    Do you have the NIC configured?
    go to /sbin and type
    ifconfig
    does the NIC have an IP address?

    When you say you installed the Windows driver, did you do it using ndiswrapper? If so, did you follow the instructions on the Ndiswrapper site for what to do after the driver is installed? Namely:
    Code:
    depmod -a
modprobe wlan0
lsmod
    The last to see if ndiswrapper is present?
