That above link is a step-by-step instruction on how to set up a WiFi card in mandrake or Redhat, for the Microsoft card but it could work for just about any card.
Also here is some very useful information I got from other users

Okay, download this:

And add it to /etc/pcmcia/

Hard restart pcmcia with:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart

If you hear two pretty much matched beeps, it loaded the module, look at the last ten or so lines of:

dmesg

and also check to see that hermes, orinoco, and orinoco_cs are listed under:

/sbin/lsmod

If everything looks good so far:

ifconfig eth0 up
iwconfig eth0 essid nameofyournetwork
iwconfig eth0 enc 123123213 (if you are using WEP)
dhcpcd eth0

Of course if you've got another ethernet device in here, then this thing probably got eth1, also you've got to do more or less all of this as root... more or less.

Cheers,

Try and avoid leaving your email address here. Search engines and email harvesters spider the site and it'll be picked up by anyone!
You'll be alerted when someone post a reply by default (if you ticked where applies).
