I have a DWA-142 but this should also work!

Download ndiswrapper:
"sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper"

Get your windows driver for that wireless device and put it in a folder.
Like your home folder /home/_____/wireless

The (______) is ur username!

Then cd to that directory:
"cd /home/______/wireless"

And use ndiswrapper on that .ini driver file!
"sudo ndiswrapper -i drivername.ini"

Make sure it registers the Device as being there!
"sudo ndiswrapper -l"

Then to activate ndiswrapper type:
"sudo modprobe ndiswrapper"
You must activate ndiswrapper every startup or you can create a startup script!

BEST OF LUCK!
