More or less it's like that. Get the latest Windows XP drivers for
your prism54-based card, then upon installation of the ndiswrapper
utilities and the kernel module you can then install those drivers
(ndiswrapper has a setup utility for that).
While ndiswrapper provides faster throughput - I had one kernel panic
incident (which never happened again since then) since I started
using it.
