This card will not work with the orinoco driver. It has a different chip
inside. It took me a long time until I found someplace on the net a
reference to the atmelwlandriver. I have lost this link. Anyway I
downloaded this and installed it and it worked straight away. Try
searching for this driver. It does work with this card. My config is
given below after installing the driver with the specified instructions.
Good luck.
