Not likely.  Linux support for wireless cards is not good IMHO.  What
you will need to do is identify the chip set of the card and find a
driver written for it or use ndiswrapper to use the windows driver.

I currently am using a D-Link DWL-G650 card using the prism54 driver. 
It works.  Does not show up in the network config GUI as I would like
but it does work.
