to get the truemobile card running under ubuntu, you can try the following:
$apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils unzip

copy the windows driver installer (RXXXXXXX.exe) onto your linux partition

$mkdir tmp
$cd tmp
$unzip RXXXXXXXX.exe

look for a file called bcmwl5a.inf, if there's an AR/ subdirectory, use the one there.

$ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a.inf
$modprobe ndiswrapper

then you should have a wlan0 device that corresponds to your wirless card.
