Not particularly helpful I know, but according to the Freespire HCL (http://wiki.freespire.org/index.php/HCL_Wifi) this wifi USB adapter is not supported. I would always recommend checking for compatible hardware for linux - especially as Freespire is a "small" distro - and hardware compatibility with this chipset will be difficult to achieve. (or at least that is my opinion, for what it is worth )
