If someone has an answer, and the answer is easy to apply, then
obviously go that way.

However, if this is a desktop and the card is easily swapped out, you
my find it easier all round to just go out and buy a supported card.
Network cards aren't that expensive these days, and when your Linux
catches up with your new card, you can swap it back in.

PS: If your card belongs to a "family", try the drivers for earlier
models. They often work just fine. Also, if the card claims
compatibility with any other cards, try those drivers.
