First, Determine the chipset it is based on. Then the modprobe the 
correct modules. Then see if you can bing up the interface.
You will also need to set up wireless networking first to give it
something to bring up. Do Computer->System Configuration->Networking.

Let us know the exact card (e.g. WPC54G, ..) and we can be more 
helpful with regard to the correct module(s) it will need.
If is the WPC54G card I believe it is a Broadcom chipset and I do not
have experience with those. You may need to look into ndiswrapper for 
drivers linux does not have support for yet.
