Best bet is ndiswrapper and the Windows driver. Trendnet say there is no
native driver for Linux. Check very carefully the hardware revision,
'cos Trendnet had a habit of keeping the same model number but switching
out the chipset. If you have the driver CD for windows you could well be
sorted.

I had a PCI 421 that was a Marvell 8000C. Worked like a champ with
ndiswrapper*. Didn't work with 64-bit OSs.

cheers,
 Stewart

*: as much as ndiswrapper can work. I mean, for user-level network stuff
it worked fine, but I wouldn't have put it in a server.
