The wifi will never function correctly if you are using a windows driver in linux.
You need to be looking at using one of the following drivers (I cannot say which as I don't know off hand what capabilities the card has)
madwifi
ath5k
ath9k

hi man

you must first start the network.

start> services> network> start network

and then click on:

start> internet> wcid network manager

that chould do the job

Firstly : Thanks for your quick response !

In fact, I'm not using the Windows driver in Linux: just wrote down the Windows driver to help to identify the adapter (noob error ) ... but it was better to execute in Linux Console:

lspci -nn

BT4 does not support this adapter natively, so I tried to find other drvers and modify BT4 with no luck yet (here is what I did so far):
- Downloaded "compat-wireless-2.6.33-rc4.tar.bz2"
- Changed "syslinux.cfg" on the BT4 (pendrive installation) to set Persistent Changes (changed "nopersistent" for "persistent")
- Booted BT4 and tried to install drivers following the instructions in:

http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compat-wireless

- Installation went OK except for an error about Modules linking (?)
- Rebooted ... Wifi did not work again. Also other things that worked Ok before installation did not work now (i.e. storage drives did not work).

I'll keep searching
