I have been googling/reading about this card for a whole now and just cannot get this to work under linux. I have tried recompiling the kernel a few times. Anyway, here is all the information that I thought you all could need to help me here. The first thing I tried was to install the wlan-ng drivers, but that did not seem to get the card working.
