Also - this page looks very helpful: http://www.puppylinuxforum.org/thread-596.html...Puppy's Network Wizard is one of the best in the business. It supports all currently available Linux wifi drivers including the unconventional linux-wlan-ng (prism2) drivers, plus ndiswrapper. ....For wifi chipsets not supported by a native Linux driver, Puppy also includes ndiswrapper, which will "wrap" a Windows driver. Obviously, you must supply the Windows driver files.
ndiswrapper is a workaround solution, but sometimes it's the ONLY solution.
Edit:The built-in wireless LAN card of the xp7250 is connected internally via USB, and it is a Prism2.5 chipset based adaptor. This card is currently only supported by the Linux-wlan-ng Project, and not by the standard kernel yet. You need to download one of the latest development snapshots (I use 0.2.1pre20), and build/install it. The latest version of linux-wlan-ng in Debian does currently not yet support this USB card variant, so you will need to compile from sources.
