The wireless thingy is a D-link DWL-G122.
Ian, the kernel headers package is always linux-headers-`uname -r` which in this case is linux-headers-2.6.15-magma. You should be able to install that package and have everything you need. Stuart S has several times recommended a simple solution for wireless using a cheap external box that hooks up to the network port instead of usb: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.emc.user/2223/ If you consider your time worth anything, you'll be far ahead to get one of these!
