Hmm - sorry to hear that. To be honest, it's fairly straightforward -
compile and install ndiswrapper, load the Windows driver, modprobe
ndiswrapper. At that point, the light should come on on the card.
After that, use iwconfig to make sure it's working, then tinker with
ifconfig and/or the bootup scripts as necessary.
