Drivers for wireless usb adapter - Mageia1

I recently bought a new wireless usb adapter. But my Mageia1 can't detect it. I search the net but can't find any. Something that cross my mind. I had a Backtrack 5 DVD. It is for cracking wifi. It support many wireless and it should have the driver my want. That's it I found the driver in the /lib/firmware folder. I copy the files in that folder. It works!!!
