I have a friend who recently installed Ubuntu on his laptop and IIRC he
had the same card (or a similar one, but by Intel). It used the module
that you mentioned. In ubuntu, it was detected automatically and all he
had to do was give an ESSID and the key.
To the original poster, I suggest that first you see if your module gets
loaded successfully. Then you should have these packages installed:
wireless-tools, network-manager (and its corresponding -gnome or -kde
package as well, depending on which desktop you use), dhcp3-client,
dhcp3-common.
Once you are done installing those and modprobed the wireless module,
see what is the output of this command:
$> iwconfig
If you get your wireless interface listed here, you are in business.
Then you should try to configure your wireless device. Perhaps the
easiest way is to use the nm-applet GUI application. In gnome at least,
it puts a little icon on your panel which you can use to select any of
the wireless networks it lists.
I can explain more if you wish.
