I have no experience with that particular card but I've had good luck with the linux-wlan-ng[1] drivers. My basic procedure for laptops has been: 1. compile your kernel from source, remove all PCMCIA drivers from the kernel. 2. compile pcmcia-cs 3. compile linux-wlan-ng There are Debian source packages for kernel-source, pcmcia-cs, and linux-wlan-ng. You can use "apt-get source <pkgname>". See the Debian docs for more on building packages from source.
