I have problems with getting an Asus PCE-N53 11n N600 PCI-E Adapter card to work on my desktop computer.

As far as I can tell no drivers are installed for the card. I know I can manually download the drivers directly from Asus, but I would rather not go that route.

If there are anyone that knows about any packages or other things I can do to make this work would be much appreciated.

Some systems details:
