There should be no need to install the drivers from an external source, 
wheezy has support for that card:

Have you already configured your card?

What's the output of "/sbin/ifconfig -a"? Can you ping to a local or 
remote host? Is there something at the syslog?

Also, you can search if there's a reported bug, for instance:
