Given that Xandros is really Debian, you might be able to install the
Debian hostap-driver package.  (I see it is available as source from
backports.org, so that route will almost certainly work.)

Otherwise, hit http://hostap.epitest.fi/ and grab the source.  Make
sure you have kernel source matching your running kernel installed.
Untar the source and follow the included instructions to build.  (Note
that I would *only* do this if *absolutely* necessary.  It's always
better to let other people do the work for you.  :)

If those instructions are unsuitably vague, feel free to let me know.
(For that matter, feel free to give me a call if you want to drop by
and let me take care of it.  ;)
