The wireless card may be compatible. A quick Google says the card has either a Broadcom or a Marvell chipset. If Broadcom, then it might work. If Marvell, then no.

 

Go into Windows to find the vendor and device id's of the card. Go to Device Manager and find the wireless device. Get Properties on it then click on the Details tab. There you should find the vendor id and device id.

If the vendor id = 14e4, then it is a Broadcom

If the vendor id = 11ab, then it is a Marvell

If the vendor id is Broadcom, be sure to record the device id. Use that in this guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=23684 except there is a typo in the guide. Use this command to edit the specified file:

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/Info.plist
