I have one that does not "just work" under Linux. I used to use in 
FreeBSD, but then I discoved it was the cause of my (previously believed 
to be unrealated) kernel panics. A little googling revealed that it was 
the chipset and the device works great on windows. I haven't tried it with 
a 2.6 kernel, though.
