I bought a bunch of these to run wireless access points on from ARM devices
running Debian:

Work really well with hostapd.  IIRC it does require a binary firmware:

git clone 
http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
sudo cp linux-firmware/rt28* /mnt/lib/firmware/

'driver=nl80211' in hostapd.conf
