Pretty easy install with ndiswrapper http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

I downloaded the source package for the 0.11 version and installed it accoring to the wiki install page http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Installation

No probs with the build, the CD that came in the box hides the .inf file inside a cab file, so after googling I found a site that hosted the win98 version of the drivers at
http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=189755
I registered there, but you can try u=driver2, pw=all (which seemed pretty generic to me) unziped and installed that .inf file the ndiswrapper -l command then shows:
Installed ndis drivers:
g120 driver present, hardware present

I didn't run into the 4k kernel issue mentioned in the Distro specific page at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Distributions
I run "/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper" then "dhclient wlan0" after every reboot then it works great!

Many thanks to the folks who did great work with the ndiswrapper project.
