I recommend that you first download a program called ndiswrapper. You can find it at www.sourceforge.net. This program allows you to use you windows NIC drivers to use your NIC in linux. I currently use ndiswrapper to run my Linksys Wireless G NIC, and it works without a hitch

Actually, ndiswrapper should be used only when real linux drivers don't exist. What kind of card is this?
