Here is 1 tutorial that uses ndiswrappper to install the Windows drivers in Ubuntu for your wireless card from the Ubuntu Wiki:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...1_(ndiswrapper)
And here is a thread from LQ forums that has a link to a native linux driver for your card:

EDIT: It seems your card uses the acx100 driver. See this:
