I have the same card and am using the 2100 router wired at the moment, but so far have not found anything about this card on linux. I have a feeling that there are two options here, porting the windows drivers or righting linux ones. I have no idea how to go about either.
I'll keep looking...

It appears that this has a broadcom chipset, mine does anyway. now we need to find out what chipset it is so we can find drivers for it, i have a feeling broadcom will be supported.

Broadcom isn't one of the best supported but mine does work. Can you post the output from:
lspci

It may work with ndiswrapper:

ok, its sat on my desk @ mo, I'll try that l8r.
Its a BCM4306 chip

here we go:
0000:00:09.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

ok, on to something here i think, loads of the adapters listed on the ndiswrapper site have the pciid 14e4:4320 - but none are that chip... does that matter?
