Just knowing the NIC isn't much help - you need to know how to talk to 
the radio as well.  Actually, it sounds like the card might be a 
Wavelan or similar - have you tried pointing the 'wlp' driver out of 
the PAO kit at it?

Are these PCCARDs, or ISA cards?  Be aware that most of these radio
netcards are 2Mbps or slower, so dewriring is less attractive than it
may sound at first.
