no.. you compile the madwifi drivers for your kernel
or find ones that a precompiled for your kernel: linux-2.6.13-123.4-89.abc

get the latest madwifi drivers from cvs at madwifi.sourceforge.net

look at the cd that came with the hardware ..

ms forces all the manufacturers to provide a 600MB cd for their hw

it works ... ndiswrapper usually works ... i havent seen on that
doesn't work, even if it's dead by default due to mswindows
        - you should be able to install the windoze drivers
        - you should be able to see the hardware
        - you may even be able to config it
        - whether you can ping wirelessly is a different ballgame

no ... compile madwifi .. NOT the kernel

        cd /usr/local/src
        download madwifi drivers
        cd madwifi
        make
        make install
                ls -la /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net
        modprobe "madwifi"

        ifconfig ath0 up
        ifconfig -v

        - how you configure the params is a different ballgame
