linuxant.com did not work? That sounds very odd as their solution loads
the original XP drivers that come with the card. I use it with a PCI and
a PCMCIA card with no trouble at all. One on Gentoo and one on SUSE 9.

Cards used here with no trouble (via linuxant.com): DWL-520+ and
DWL-650+. The 'non +' versions of these cards are even more likely to
work.
