You might give Ndiswrapper a try with the card's XP driver. I'm using
Ndiswrapper and an XP driver on a Broadcom 54G which has absolutely no
native Linux drivers. Ndiswrapper + XP driver works very well, haven't
tried it in 802.11G mode but in 802.11B mode everything works including
WEP. My old laptop had a Prism based 802.11b card and the Prism driver
never worked very well, it sort of worked if WEP was disabled but if you
enabled WEP it would hang the card and only a cold reboot would fix it.
