ndiswrapper. That's what I use with my Belkin F5D6001 PCI WLAN card. The drivers required tweaking (I had to download the Realtek RTL8180L Windows driver from their FTP site, and not the newest one, one that was slightly older, and then change the PCI_VEN codes to the F5D6001's codes), but they work.
