Is this a card for which you need to run ndiswrapper??? If so, you may want to first make sue you have all the Windoze drivers and then, install ndiswrapper and use it to bootstrap the windoze drives into place...
Make sure you also have wpa_supplicant installed as well as any wpa_supplicant GUI set-up utility you can find that you are comfortable using. You genreally have to pass a root or sudo password to the wireless setup utility to get it to connect.
If the card is one supported by MadWifi drivers, you need to make sure MadWifi is installed. Many sistros are leaving it out because it uses and loads binary snippets.

Look in the HCL section located at the top or to the right. It is not listed but one is model 7010. I am guessing it is close and it can use the ndiswrapper with the windows inf driver file.
Post outptut from the command ' /sbin/lspci '
If similiar then install ndiswrapper. Docs for install is on their site. Many post here on ndiswrapper. Use the search tool for that and read about it.
