Just FYI, this card works for me with 8.04.

(I had some problems connecting to a WPA2-protected hidden network,
which were fixed by installing linux-backsports-modules-hardy, which
then broke suspend; but that but got fixed recently.)

Can you describe the symptoms?  For example, do you use Network Manager
(the little icon in the panel)?  Does it see that you have a wireless
card?  Does it see wireless networks?  Does it try to connect and then
fail?  Is the network you're trying to connect to open, or does it use
WEP/WPA/WPA2?

Looking for errors in /var/log/daemon.log may also be informative.
