The Prism chipset is well supported under linux.  In fact it's one of 
the few chipsets that will act as an AP (http://hostap.epitest.fi/). 
The dirvers are even in 2.6.10-rc3-mm1.

I'm not using the Senao, but I've got a prism2 chipset card in my 
home-made linux firewall/wireless AP.  So if you wan't the little extra 
power, don't be afraid of linux compatability.
