Hi all, If it'll help you, i also have an unsupported wireless lan card (not intel) and here's what i've done to get it working:
Installed dhcpcd package. chmod 777 /sbin/dhcpcd /sbin/dhcpcd -G <router-ip> wlan0 and put a shell script at /etc/init.3 (or something like that) includes: #!/bin/sh /sbin/dhcpcd -G 192.168.1.1 <http://192.168.1.1> wlan0 and that completely worked, without any other software.It starts up automatically on every boot.I'm sorry if this information is not releated any ways (?).Just you can put a shell script to get it working on every boot.
