That's tougher than it looks...

If WinLinux 200x comes with the kernel source installed (or can be easily installed), you can just download the generic i386 rpm and it should work fine.  I use the generic i386 rpm with Mandrake 9 without any problems.  Otherwise, you'll probably have to write to the WinLinux guys and tell them you want this driver made available.

Actually, considering WL's target audience, I'm surprised that they didn't include it with their distro or at least have a URL where their users can get it. 

Just out of curiosity, why WinLinux?  It's based on Mandrake, isn't it?  Have you tried Mandrake instead?  It's a more popular distribution so drivers are made available for it more quickly than WinLinux.

Good Luck,
