What can I do to get it working?

First you need to install ndiswrapper. This allows you to use the windows drivers for your card on your linux box.

When I try installing, I get this:
root@kim:~/ndiswrapper-1.34# make54_FC5# cd ~
make -C driver ndis*
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/ndiswrapper-1.34/driver'
Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build;
give the path to kernel build directory with
KBUILD=<path> argument to make
make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/ndiswrapper-1.34/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2
root@kim:~/ndiswrapper-1.34#
Looks like I need kernel headers. Is that right?
(I'm downloading them right now)

OK, well, successfully installed kernel headers.
Still a problem; Fedora isn't (or can't) find my wireless card, even with ndiswrapper installed and a driver installed thru ndiswrapper
lspci finds the card:
but iwconfig just prints:Code:... 05:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) ...
Code:root@kim:~# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions.

"modprobe ndiswrapper" maybe?
