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.
