With the prism54 chipset based wlan cards you need to install the
firmware file.

Download the latest from http://prism54.org/~mcgrof/firmware/
and rename it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3886

Let us know how you get on...

Oops. Apparently the isl3886 is the new 'unsupported' version.
Connexant have changed their chipset. See at this link -

You may have to try ndiswrapper.
