We'll need to know the chipset to offer much help.
Try lspci -v or look in /var/log/messages for clues as to the innards.

That's the information for the cardbus controller, not the card. Try again and list the entire output of lspci -v

The only CB54G listed in the AbsoluteValue Systems http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz list is branded as a Corega and uses the PrismGT chipset. If that's the same card, the driver at prism54.org should work.

Which says nothing about the chipset.
I've given you as much help as I can based on what you've given me.
Good luck with it.

CB54G output from lspci

I noticed this site [linuxquestions.org] has a lot of cool info...

I keep popping up in it from google every time I have a problem

Just thought I'd post the lspci output on the CB54G in case it would help anybody.

To date, I have it running in Linux...

*BUT*

I had to use the Linuxant driverloader [http://linuxant.com] in order to do so.

I don't know what I'm going to do in 30 days... Probably going to get a new card :P

I've been trying to get ndiswrapper to work with many different vendors' BCM4306 chipset drivers... all without success.

If I actually get it going [with ndiswrapper] I'll post...

Anyway... here's the output from lspci -vv [that's two v's not one w]

0000:03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 168
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
Region 0: Memory at 10800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
