Hi,

Have you checked out ndiswrapper? I haven't used it, but it is
supposed to take a windows driver for hardware and "wrap" it into a
linux useable driver.

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

Sorry I can't tell you more as I haven't ever used it, but hopefully
it may help put you on the right track.

Good luck!

-Steve.
