I'm not familiar with what type of WIFI card you have, however I knwo for a fact that your card is supported, we just need to know what type it is.

I own an IBM Thinkpad R40, this uses the airo driver, which on most kernels isn't precompiled so I need to compile my own kernel, but thats a win/win situation, because then I can customise the kernel to my needs.

A quick search with what ever little description of the WIFI card in your laptop, results with a description of it beeing supported in the upcomming MadWifi driver.

NAME
axnet_cs - Asix AX88190 chipset PCMCIA Ethernet Driver SYNOPSIS
insmod axnet_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [irq_list=i,j,...] DESCRIPTION
Axnet_cs is a driver for PCMCIA ethernet cards based on the Asix AX88190 chipset. These cards are mostly NE2000 compatible but have sev- eral bugs that are sufficiently tricky to work around that a separate driver was deemed necessary. When this driver is bound to a card, it allocates the next available ethernet device (eth0..eth#). This device name will be reported in the kernel log file, and passed on to cardmgr(8). PARAMETERS
pc_debug=n Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A non-zero value enables debugging. irq_list=i,j,... Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver. DIAGNOSTICS
axnet_cs: this is not an AX88190 card! Indicates that this card is probably a normal NE2000 compatible card, which requires the pcnet_cs driver. eth#: interrupt(s) dropped! Indicates that the driver did not receive an interrupt notification for some reason. The driver will poll the card (with a signifi- cant performance penalty) if the problem persists. The most likely cause is an interrupt conflict and/or host bridge configuration problem. AUTHOR
