First off how important is it to compile a native linux driver for this card 
If it is not that important then save yourself some time and use you Windows Drivers with the ndiswrapper package install.. Some don't like it but I have used it successfully many times.
Control Center / Network / Network Connections / Admin / Create Connect /
..choose appropriate say Local Network wireless...
Once connection appears on list ..then right click on it ..choose Properties..
[Hardware Tab] [Hardware properties] [Driver] {Wireless NDIS Driver}
and with the Win Driver CD handy follow the info to Browse the CD for the .inf and/or .sys files for WinXP and install..
Laslty your must in properties as always Setup the Network Connection..
Properties Tabs ..General..Wireless..TCP/IP
Gateway IP..Route.. domains..

wpa_supplicant by default tries CCMP also known as AES and TKIP ciphers in that order. So if your AP supports both, you can use either ndiswrapper works with both, if the driver supports them. ....
So you might even have a more probable chance of an issue with the native driver as opposed to the Win Driver w/ ndiswrapper. As the Win Driver will be supporting the protocols.
