not enough info.. need to know which chipset is has..
#
Card: SMC SMCWPCI-G EU 802.11g 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter
*
Chipset: Realtek RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller
*
pciid: 10ec:8185 (rev 20)
*
Driver: The WinXP driver from the factory CD
*
Other: Ubuntu 7.04 Linux 2.6.20-16-generic i686; ndiswrapper 1.38. Worked on channel 6 and needed to add “irqpoll” to kernel boot options. On channel 11 or with no “irqpoll”, system freezes with “BUG: Soft lockup detected on CPU0!” while “Configuring network interfaces” at bootup.
#
Card: SMC SMCWUSBT-G EU EZ Connect USB Adapter
*
Chipset: Atheros ar5523
*
usbid: 1690:0710 Askey Computer Corp. hex
*
Driver: You need two drivers for this dongle; ar5523.inf and athfmwdl.inf. The drivers from the install CD-ROM (for 2kXP) work nicely
*
Other: Runs smoothly on Debian testing 2.6.17. Since this kernel does not have an option to disable 4k stacks I patched the kernel with the appropriate linuxant 16kstack patch from
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/archive/ this page. It will _not_ work without this!.
