In my experience there are about 4 possibilities:

1. It will work with a driver native to the Linux distribution.

2. The download (or CD) for the Windows XP driver will include a .inf file that will work with Linux.
3. The download (or CD) for the Windows XP driver will be an executable, but running the executable (with Windows) will yield a .inf file that will work with Linux.
4. Try another adapter or wait for the next release of your Linux.
