Comment (by uberpinguin):
If you are trying to use the Windows driver, you will have to use
ndiswrapper - that's what it's for. It provides an interface between the
Linux kernel and the Windows driver. It works mostly OK for my ar5005ug
chipset, with a few complaints: _no_ monitor mode, so no kismet or packet
sniffing; sometimes segfaults; doesn't always unload cleanly - in fact, I
almost always have to remove the device, 'modprobe -r ndiswrapper', plug
the device back in, and 'modprobe ndiswrapper' to get it working again.
Sometimes I have to reboot.
It may be faster for you to learn how to develop kernel modules yourself
and start work on it - what better introduction to the world of Linux ;?)
I'm working on this very process myself, but don't exactly have a lot of
time to devote to it at the moment.
