or find ones that a precompiled for your kernel: linux-2.6.13-123.4-89.abc
get the latest madwifi drivers from cvs at madwifi.sourceforge.net

look at the cd that came with the hardware ..
ms forces all the manufacturers to provide a 600MB cd for their hw

it works ... ndiswrapper usually works ... i havent seen on that
doesn't work, even if it's dead by default due to mswindows
- you should be able to install the windoze drivers

no ... compile madwifi .. NOT the kernel
cd /usr/local/src
download madwifi drivers
cd madwifi
make
make install
ls -la /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net
modprobe "madwifi"
ifconfig ath0 up
ifconfig -v
- how you configure the params is a different ballgame
