Thanks for your reply.
I have mentioned in my mail that wireless adapter works fine in Linux
Mint 7 Felicia and Linux Mint 6 KDE.

In known issues it is written that
"If your Wifi adapter doesn't work, launch "Windows Wireless Drivers"
(ndisgtk) from the menu. Linux Mint comes with a collection of drivers
(Broadcom, Atheros, Linksys, etc..) for ndisgtk which are located in
/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/drivers/i386" (link
http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_gloria_kde.php)

I followed those instructions and still it does not work. Anyway I
will post in the forums also.
