It works fine in Wndows Vista, at startup you have to activate it, by pressing FN+F2(no hard switch).
As far as I can tell, Mint seem to just don't know, that there is a WiFi-card, FN+F2 doesn't work. I looked around in the Internet, but I am getting realy frustrated about that.
mintwifi gives me this output
