I think the atl1c driver in kmod-compat-wireless might also support that 
device, but first we really need to see the vendor:device ID pairing to 
be able to advise further.

Please post the output from the following command (note this is on one 
line):

for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1 }'); 
do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done
