If you're not adverse to paying for a driver, a Google search turned up a 
30-day trial version driver ($19.95 thereafter), that claims to support 
802.11g on several manufacturers cards (at 
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads.php). 

I'm glad you asked the question, since I hadn't checked on support for my U.S. 
Robotics 802.11g card in the last six months or so, and had given up hope.  
I'll be downloading the 30-day trial Mandrake 9.2 RPM on the site, and trying 
it out.  Wish me luck.

Promising costs nothing, it's the delivering that kills you.

The Mandrake RPM installed fine, but it looks like I'll need to toy with it a 
bit.  Haven't found any way to tweak WEP (either on or off so far, but no way 
to enter my passphrase), and haven't taken a real close look at the separate 
WPA support driver yet).

I am getting into abstract painting.  Real abstract -- no brush, no canvas,
I just think about it.  I just went to an art museum where all of the art
was done by children.  All the paintings were hung on refrigerators.

This isn't a driver per say, but a wrapper that allows you to use your WinXP 
driver in Linux.  There is a free (GPL'd) version of this that works with 
some cards at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

You're right.  That's something I discovered after I explored a bit more.  
I'll check out the link you mentioned.
