I've used openSUSE LiveCD on Asus/Pegatron IPMTB-TK and I still was
able to see my WiFi card (using adapter).

Then thanks for MSDNAA I've tried Windows XP on my problematic
P5V02-MX motherboard. Windows XP also could not detect my WiFI card!

So there is nothing from with Linux+adapter, the problem in directly
related to my P5V02-MX motherboard.
