Same problem here, with the WLAN drivers pointed out in the wiki...

I have an Ethernet Controller with a missing driver in the device manager, but it won't accept this one...

From the Wiki:

"Right-click the device in device manager and manually choose a driver to install. Click have disk and point to C:\drivers\win\wllanath\winxp_2k, then select the driver: 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter."

Yeah, letting windows work it's drivers magic won't work. You've got to tell it which driver to use specifically.

Also, I used the b/g driver (instead of the a/b/g driver) since the apple site seems to indicate the card won't work on 802.11a.

No, the Intel-based Macs all have Atheros 5424 wireless chipsets that support 802.11a/b/g. Apple just does not advertise "a".
