Im having the same problem, there is an easy way to fix it, and a hard way. Hopefully the easy way will work, because im yet to do the hard way.
When cardmgr runs, it should say something like:
cardmgr[460]: unsupported card in socket 0
cardmgr[460]: product info: "Belkin", "11Mbps-Wireless-Notebook-Network-Adapter"
cardmgr[460]: manfid: 0x01BF, 0x3301 function: 6 (network)
write all of this down
to support it, open a shell and type:
sudo su
chmod 777 /etc/pcmcia/config
scite /etc/pcmcia/config
from here, you need to add these lines in the appropriate place, with the name and manfid of your card
card "Belkin 11Mbps-Wireless-Notebook-Network-Adapter"
manfid 0x01BF, 0x3301
bind "whatever_cs"
where I put whatever_cs, put a script that supports ur card, this could be:
prism_cs
orinoco_cs
wavelan_cs
etc
dont type them in, i may have spelt them wrong. Just scroll up or down in the config file and see what similiar cards used.
after your done save it and reboot.
if the card doesnt work, try a different bind, reboot again, etc.
If none of them work (mine didnt), you may need to install the atmel package which supports loads more wireless cards.

This got it working on a miniknoppix distro.
however im not quite sure how to install it on dsl, im waiting for someone to get back to me.
