Linksys has used thee chips (that I am aware of) in their cards. If your box actually has the Cisco logo on it, then that eliminates the oldest of the chipsets. The two remaining are Prism2 (Linksys version 2.5 and 2.6, I think) and Broadcom (Linksys version 2.6).
Getting the Prism2 card to work is pretty easy. Just check out www.linux-wlan.org. The wlan-ng is the package you're looking for, which appears to be available in the portage tree. If you have the Broadcom chip, then your mileage may vary. Linksys used to support Linux, but now that Cisco owns them, I wouldn't bet on it. Cisco's support for Linux is rather hit or miss. Sometimes they jump on board (ie when they first released their TACACS source code), other times they don't. So we may or may not see "official" drivers in the future. But in the meantime, you might want to look at www.linuxant.com. I have the 802.11g version of the Broadcom chip in my laptop and the driverloader "middleware" from linuxant.com is working for me.
