I'm trying to get ndiswrapper working for the new card.
Here's some advice come too late: avoid any wireless cards that require
Ndiswrapper to work under Linux. If you want to do anything more
sophisticated than just connect to (some) WLAN's, few apps support
Ndiswrapper well if at all.
If there is a native driver for your card, go with that in preference to
using Ndiswrapper, even if you have to compile and fiddle with it.
Not having every wireless card out there, I can't say which ones
Ndiswrapper works 100% with. But after extensive and ongoing research
into getting my own WLAN tweaked, I've noticed that the consensus
opinion is that Ndiswrapper is to be used only as a last resort (i.e.
only if you can't find a better driver for your card _and_ you refuse to
get a different card).
