Hey Chris, I'm pretty sure that card works out of the box with the 
madwifi driver. Under Gentoo just "emerge madwifi-ng", "modules-update" 
"modprobe ath_pci", but I'm not sure about Whitebox. Isn't that Redhat 
EL based? Either way if you can find out how to get that driver onto 
your install your wireless should come to life.
