I doubt MS will develop drivers for Linux.

Have you tried using wine or considered a Linux supported
adapter?

I started with the highly recommended FAQ:

http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/


Browsed through the Wireless LAN drivers links and found:

Mark S. Mathews is the maintainer of the Prism and Prism II based cards ...

http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/


Hardware Compatibility:

http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz


Looked for available cards with linux "support" in the matrix and found only
B cards, I researched and read as much as I could before buying the card.
Linux-wlan-ng support and went to:

ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/FAQ


Tried to build from source with no luck, but the FAQ pointed to these RPM
builds:

http://prism2.unixguru.raleigh.nc.us/


Which included FC1 RPMs, with the kernel I had installed (2188 build).
Installing the RPMS was not enough, but it gave me the drivers I could use
to add the wireless card using "neat", plus adding the WEP keys and such.
