Working PCI wireless cards on Arch Linux Duke GenuineIntel (kernel: 2.6.21-ARCH) by mildred593 (3):

Works with madwifi drivers for chipset AR5008. After some time it disconnects.

It works also with ndiswrapper. Contact me at silkensedai(at)online.fr if you want the windows driver and you can’t find it. You can also search 7iwc28ww.exe on the Internet and use cabextract to extract the driver (md5sum: 74ed31d96d450115d558892a3269fa9c).
