Yes there are. Any PCI card with a prism chipset. What version WG111 is this 1 or 2?
 
Does the serial number start with WG41 or 165 (version 2) or;
 
WG16 or WG72 or 130 (version 1)?
 
If it is a version 2, then you may be able to get it working with ndiswrapper.

What failed with your current device and ndiswrapper?
 
Often there are specific instructions for each distro to get it to work. Did you consult the ndiswrapper wiki? The card compatability list shows that it does work.
