You probably don't want to hear this, but you didn't need to install XP.
You can get the windows driver from the manufacturers webpage usually.
The following guide is super useful.

Thanks Al - I'm sure you're right but it was the "Devil's own job" finding
the right driver. lshw talked about a Texas Instruments card, Device
Manager called it a Toshiba card but I finally discovered it was an Agere
card. Agere is apparently now lsi. Suffice to say I have downloaded and
squirreled away the working driver.
Cheers
Rob
