For cases where the linux drivers *don't* work, the windows driver can be used with ndiswrapper. In the case of my Zyxel G302v3, I blacklist the rtl8180 module (which thinks it can drive the card but cannot), download and unpack G-302 v3_7.00.zip from the realtek website, and feed WIN7X86/NET8185.inf into ndiswrapper. I don't know what hardware you have, but some older laptops came with *optional* wireless, so that might explain it "not working". Do the FCC/CE stickers give any clues?
