gOS is based on Ubuntu 8.04, not on 8.10, and it will take some time
before gOS will switch to 8.10, as the fact that Ubuntu 8.04 is a
"long term stable" is very important for gOS, because it is a "steady
target", it is hard to build a stable non-official "remix" on a moving
target like Ubuntu 8.10. The difference why your network adapter works
will be based on the difference in the kernels used in Ubuntu 8.10 and
8.04. After googling for your card it seems it is not "all roses" on
the driver side for this card as you imply, it is barely supported,
even by ubuntu 8.10.
perhaps someone knows a patch, or maybe its just a matter of using a
Windows driver and the "ndiswrapper", which gOS does not support ("out
of the box").
