I had been keeping an eye on the Intel site for drivers, but there still
doesn't seem to be much happening on that front. Luckily,
www.linuxant.com have developed a wrapper around Windows drivers which
works for this card and plenty of others. Anyone looking to get this
card going should grab driverloader from linuxant and give it a shot.
