I have a linksys card with the acx111 chipset working on a Gentoo based
Laptop via ndiswrapper (acx driver not up to snuff at time of install). 
I've tested Ubuntu 6.06 and it recognizes to card, but I haven't tested to
see if it actually works.  I could not get it working under Ubuntu 5.10
because it would not recognize the encryption.
