I will try ndiswrapper 1.54 soon.
I think I tried all available windows drivers for "0cf3:9170".

lsmod | grep arusb

You will also need to blacklist ndiswrapper, then reboot. If the Linux driver brings up your card, try connecting to your router with security disabled. From what I understand, this driver requires a special version of wpa_supplicant,
This driver requires its own supplicant driver for wpa_supplicant 0.4.8.
Code:
wpa_supplicant -v
wpa_supplicant v0.6.6

I'm not sure if this driver will work--I've yet to find anyone who can actually connect with it (if it brings up your device at all, you're kind of lucky), but it's been in rapid development and is definitely worth a try.
If none of the above helps, I guess the next step would be to switch back to ndiswrapper and try negotiating your WPA connection from the command line.
I will give ndiswrapper 1.54 a try and then I'll just wait
