Since Madwifi is a driver for cards that are based on several 
Atheros-chipsets, and the card you are looking at is working with a 
chipset by Texas Instruments, it is very unlikely that Madwifi will 
support it.

When looking at the experiences the community had to make with another 
WLAN-chipset from Texas Instruments (ACX100) I predict that we won't see 
any open source (or even a closed source) native linux driver for these 
cards. If you plan to use your wlan card under linux, you should 
consider to use another card.
