[ale] DLink DWL-520 or SMC2402W wireless card Mandrake 10.0 anyone have any advice?

Ok, I get from lspci:

00:0d.o Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 100 22Mbps Wireless 
Interface

"modprobe firmware_class" returned nothing, it just completed without 
any output

and "cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug" returned: /sbin/hotplug

It looks like this thing is using the ACX100 driver, but that didnt want 
to work either, and now I've been trying to get the prism54 stuff to 
work with it...very confusing for a newbie like myself.
