You can use NDISWrapper but most of the wireless hacking tools wont work with that, your better off seing if you can pick up Linux drivers for your card.
However drunken monkey style mike says this.
Find appropriate windows drivers and drop onto your linux distro, run "ndiswrapper -i driverfilepath/drivername.inf"
then type "ndiswrapper -l" to see is it installed and working.
then "ndiswrapper -m" and afer, "modprobe ndiswrapper" "iwconfig" "iwlist wlan0 scan" assuming thats your wireless network name (which it is on mine)
"iwconfig wlan0 essid your_essid_here"
"iwconfig wlan0 key yourkey" if your using wep
"iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed"
"dhclient wlan0" or "dhcpcd wlan0" note wlano may need to be your default connection and you might want to reboot.
ANy problems ask me in morning. (afer much coffee)
I modified /etc/network/interfaces to make wifi default and moddeed /etc/modules to run on boot.
from Live CD though would require making a new ISO.
If you want to pick another distro try this.
