if you're using, its NOT a compatible hw, since you're using 
the windoze drivers on the cdrom that came with the card

- if the wifi card using broadcom ... most of the broadcom
  is not supported by any linux drivers
	- but there are some broadcom chips like the tigon(?) gigE
	stuff that have a native linux driver

- if you use ndiswrapper..
	- you can only be a wifi client
	- you may or may not be able to run wpa
	- you may or may not be able to talk to any random 
	  "microsoft based" commercial AP
	- ... semi endless list ...
