It will if it has a prism2 chipset.
Just check the specifications of your card.

From the guide of the prism2.device:
"The table below shows compatibility information for prism2.device with a
variety of wireless cards. For cards not listed below, see Absolute Value
System's directory of wireless chipsets at
http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz
If a card's chipset is listed at the AVS site as Orinoco, Agere or Prism
(except the SSF version) and its bus type is PCMCIA or PCI, it is likely to
work. Note that a few otherwise-compatible PCMCIA cards are 3.3V-only and
therefore incompatible with the A1200/A600. If the card is listed there but
doesn't match these requirements, it will definitely not work."
Yours is in the list so i believe it should be ok.

Well do not forget that a potential BIG issue is the lack of security of the WEP encryption protocol, as this driver can not handle WPA.
