This seems like a really odd piece of hardware. A google search for
"0xd1ed912b" didn't give any match at all. Usually when doing searches for
such unique keys google points to some page where others write how they
have tried to get the hardware working.

"WiBRO linux" does give some hits on google, but it seems to be some other
card, not from Samsung.

Usually, when plugging supported hardware into a linux machine everything
just works. Udev automagically loads the right module which is included in
the kernel sources. In rare cases you will have to download and install
modules yourself, maybe because the hardware is newer than your kernel,
maybe because the driver has some bad license which prevents it from being
included with the kernel.

Then we have unsupported hardware. If you are lucky you will get it to
work with ndiswrapper. However, if time has any value for you it is a lot
easier to buy supported and well working hardware than to get bad hardware
to work with Linux.
