It's likely because your card produces a different card ID string from a
Lucent or any other known card. You can try the following:

- install MoreWiFi from here: http://www.kallisys.com/newton/morewifi/en
download link is at the bottom of the page. This will enable the driver to
recognize a lot more cards, hopefully yours.

If that doesn't work, download GetCardInfo from here:

http://www.unna.org/view.php?/utilites/GetCardInfo

Remove your wireless card and install GetCardInfo. Insert the card, you'll
get that error message again. Now open Extras -> Extensions and tap on "Get
Card Info". You'll be prompted to save some info to Notes, tap YES, then go
over to Unfiled Items in Notes and post here what it says.
