My only experience with USR hardware for Linux was an external modem.

I would imagine that their 802.11b access point would work with Linux
only because most do.  But I've never used one so I can't say for sure.

And for their PCI wireless adapter they provide the following Linux
drivers:

But be careful.  They claim the drivers are beta-quality (they are just
re-distributing *older* versions of the linux-wlan-ng source tarballs,
after all) and they offer no guarantees that it will work.

good luck,
Ed
