This card is partialy supported by the b43 driver since 2.6.37 or 2.6.38 kernel and manual installation of firmware version 5.10.56.27.3 from http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Other_distributions_not_mentioned_above is working pretty well. Please update firmware version and compatibility tests. Some features as not usable according to linux wireless but the driver is stable and I do not have serious problems with it.
