See if this helps you. It took me months of trying to figure out how to get my WLAN card to work so i made a tutorial of everything i did.

[RANGER@CISS]

Thanks, but the link is dead can you post it again.

[puntmuts]

I think it was a typo: http://sids.sdf1.org/wlanHowto.html - the orignal link points to a document called wlanHotwo.html

[flipjargendy]

Yep there it is. The repost is correct, thank you Puntmuts.

it looks (after a cursory once-over) that this card will require ndiswrapper to be installed, and some form of Windows based driver wrapped into service here...

lspci & cardctl won't help you much when the card manager service can't identify what is sitting in the slot.
