The driver may mot support your particular HW.  The man page says it only
supports the 52xx series of devices.   You can try adding pci168c,1c to 
driver_aliases, but it will probably still fail since most drivers don't have
an explicit default behavior if it doesn't recognize the known ID's.

You can try ndiswrapper around the windows version of the driver.  Use
the most recent version of ndiswrapper (1.2.1).  I'm unsure if the one
on the ndis web page has been updated and may have version 1.2.1 of
ndiswrapper with the original 1.2 ndisapi.  If you grep for '1.2.1' in
the source files, you should find it in both if_ndis.c and
kern_ndis.c.  If not, you can grab the most recent one from my web site,

I've been using this for weeks with my broadcom wireless card and it's
been very solid, even with automatic network configuration, including
switching between different wireless networks and a hard wired link.
The directions for version 1.2 on the ndis web page are applicable for
version 1.2.1.

Version 1.2.1 of ndiswrapper supports suspend/resume and quiesce (fast
reboot) and has a few bug fixes which occasionally caused panics.
Version 1.2.1 of ndisapi has a serious race fixed which was causing
connection instability issues, high interrupt activity during idle and
an occasional panic.  You may need to use a 32-bit kernel.  I know that
the 64-bit version of the BCM driver doesn't seem to work.
