May be look at this site http://www.usr.com/support/product-template.asp?prod=5417 look for linux ndiswrapper for your card
If you really want to use wireless in your network look at this post it is much easier http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=33703.0

SME server has no support for wireless networking hardware.

i know that it doesnt technicaly support it but i was hopeing i could make it work but instead i went to plan b. maybe somebody can help me with that. here it is. i have a windows 2003 server that conects the internet downstairs and routes it to the upstairs and its also a local domain controler and dns server(for local only). so i installed the sme server behind that server and it says its able to connect to the internet just fine but here comes my other problem. i have a subdomain i got from a friend. its ssnow.maxisgamer.net he said i should be able to set up sme server to use that. well i have that set at my primary domain but im unable to get anything to show up like its working. maybe im just doing doing something right. i would appreciate any help that i can get. yes i know i could probably use 2003 for the webserver but id rather use sme server. i havent installed anything but sme server i just poped the cd in and let it do its thing and followed the on screen directions. so any insight would be appreciate but please keep in mind im fairly new w/linux. ive messed around a lil on other version but im not real comfortable yet.

thanks
