As others have suggested, if you can't get it working with a native
linux driver, try installing ndiswrapper and a WinXP driver. It's pretty
straightforward.
FWIW, I recently bought a used laptop from a colleague, and bought a D-
Link WNA 1330 (pcmcia) for about $18 US. The linux driver would detect and
initialize the card, but it wouldn't recognize any wireless networks. (I
spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to work). It works fine with
ndiswrapper, though.
