Debian does have ndiswrapper packaged, if that is what you need to use,
or at least it does on Testing and Unstable. I recently went through a
similar experience with a laptop and an atheros-based card. First stop
was the Madwifi project's drivers but they didn't work very well. So I
installed ndiswrapper-module, ndiswrapper-utils and wpasupplicant using
apt and obtained the windows driver from the maker's website and it all
works extremely well, even down to being able to use WPA-PSK. Updating
when changing kernel is easy because it's a Debianized module so
"module-assistant a-i ndiswrapper" sorts it all out. However, it took a
lot of Googling to work out what settings to use in
/etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant before the thing would
connect to the network. With WEP or plain open it's much easier. Post
again if you go down this path and get stuck.
