I would like to report that I got this adapter to work in Slackware 10.2.
Yesterday, I acquired one of these w/o documentation or CD. I got it it work on a dual boot Compaq Presario V2310US portable.
STFW revealed that the adapter had a Prism54 chipset. This was reported by someone who had pried it open to see. Ndiswrapper v1.2 was used to load the drivers.
The drivers were obtained from microsoft.com. The file you need is 'MSBNSoftware.exe'. After running this file in MSWindows, the necessary drivers were in C:/Program Files/Microsoft Broadband Networking. After booting into linux, I copied mn710.inf and drivers/mn710-51.sys to /etc/ndiswrapper.
While in /etc/ndiswrapper, run ndiswrapper -i mn710.inf
Ndis wrapper reported ...hardware detected. Good to go from there!
