Post the exact model of the card and the distro are you using and the output of lspci.

ndiswarapper allows you to use win XP drivers which might be an option if theres no native support for the card.

I had the DWL-650+ the project jimmy suggested was verry buggy with it.
I switched distro to MEPIS and it work flawlessly straight after the install, then it died and was replaced

Yeah, that project is pretty buggy in general. Maybe DigitalWarden could arrange a little "accident" for his card so he can replace it with one that's fully supported ;)

Yep, that would be a good plan.
I got my replacement for about £6 from ebuyer, for that kind of money it's not worth the hassle.
He could donate the card to the project to help them improve it if they don't already have that model.
Or ndiswrapper might also be worth a try.
