I built my own computer, and the motherboard is a Zotac ITX GeForce 9300
. The Wi-Fi adapter doesn't work and the CD it came with has no Linux drivers. I am using the latest stable release of Linux Mint 7.
Are there any Linux drivers for this adapter, or at least generic Wi-Fi drivers that can work on my adapter?
Here are the results of running lspci

Update: Someone said the WiFi module connects to the board via a USB header. Here are the results of running lsusb

ndiswrapper
doesn't help at all.
Update 2: I installed the VT6656
Linux driver CesarB posted, but I can only access the network and not the Internet. In addition, every time I boot the system doesn't recognize the adapter. I can reinstall the driver with every boot, but it will still only connect to the network.
