I have used Linux on this Wireless Card before and it was fine! I've used Ubuntu/Mint and most recently Arch (had the same wireless card for circa 4 years now with no troubles ever)
Under mint sometimes it shows a list of APs, sometimes not. Veryy rarely it will connect, but alas no internet. Most of the time it will just attempt to connect and then fall short.
