I thought that the version 4 card no longer used the prism chipset, but
instead used the Broadcom chipset. Sorry for the bad news, but last I heard
Broadcom Linux support was sketchy at best. I hear that there might be a
proprietary driver you can download (it is really just a wrapper for the
Windows drivers using wine), but I can't seem to find where to get it, nor
have I heard of anyone successfully using a v4 card. I returned mine and
found a prism2 card; it seemed easier.
You could blame the crappy hardware vendors who change chipsets and don't
warn the consumer, but I prefer to blame the crappier hardware vendors who
won't release their specs.
Good luck,
Richard Esplin
