I dont know about the driver, though there is a wrapper for the NDIS(binary windows) drivers, but if ther is kernel support, all it will take is a recompile.

Not really hard. Which Distro are you using, debian being the easiest to recompile the kernel. Read the kernel FAQ on tldp.org (Watch out, it looks *MUCH* more complicated than it is.
