Thanks the problem with the connection to the card has been solved.
the next problem will be to actually make it connect my AP currently it 
just says: Network Down
I don't think there are any extra Firmwarefiles needed for this card as 
i got it to work before my buildworld
i'm guessing (and only guessing) that i have to play around with sysclt 
and change some vars in dev.ndis.0 to make it work

As i'm currently not on the machine in question i cannot post any 
specific information but if anybody know what i should change please 
tell me so i can write it down for the next time i get myself in this 
type of situation :)

Also if anybody know a good site where the vars are explained please 
post them.
