I had a similar problem with MCC and a ndiswrapper wireless
NIC. I couldn't fix MCC, but it didn't matter because
ndiswrapper is easy to use from the commandline. The
instructions are here:

* http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation

but it's basically something like this. As root, install the
driver:

1) Insert the NIC.
2) Change to the driver directory.
3) # ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
4) # depmod -a
5) # modprobe ndiswrapper

And then configure it with iwconfig:

1) # iwconfig 
   to find out the interface name (probably wlan0).
2) # iwconfig wlan0 essid NAME key restricted XXXXXXXX

I don't recall what I did--if anything--to make it permanent, 
but it is.
