Just my 2 cents worth of info...
I use a LinksysWCP11 v4.0 just about everyday with DSL 2.3 and a Toshiba Satellite 2805
I have a frugal install with persistent home and opt directories
my /opt/bootlocal.sh looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
# put other system startup command here
sudo /opt/myndis.sh
/opt/myndis.sh looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/ndiswrapper.sh /opt/wpc11v4/net8180.inf wlan0 WIFINAME 1111111111
where WIFINAME is the wireless routers broadcast SID and 1111111111 is the encryption code
The /opt/wpc11v4/ directory contains 10 files one of them is the net8180.inf file.
The last part of my dmesg listing looks like this:
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
ndiswrapper version 0.10 loaded (preempt=no,smp=yes)
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 14:00.0 to 64
ndiswrapper: using irq 11
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0f:66:3b:ae:d5 using driver rtl8180.sys
ndiswrapper device wlan0 supports WPA with AES/CCMP and TKIP ciphers
ndiswrapper: driver rtl8180.sys (Realtek,10/07/2004,5.173.1007.2004) added
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x02 (Driver version 1.16)
apm: overridden by ACPI.
My grub boot parms are:
root=/dev/hda5
vga=normal
quiet
pci=noacpi
apm
frugal
dma
toram
mydsl=hda6
restore=hda5
home=hda5
opt=hda5
host=DSL230
I know someone (yes.. despite what others might say, I know people outside of cyperspace...) with an old Compaq laptop. Next time I see him I'll see if I can get the card working in his. I'm not sure what model it is.
Good luck.

======== Note =========
The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "
