For prism USB devices (and also the new softmac PCI) a driver is
currently under development, but I would call it more alpha that beta
(officially it hasn't any status). If you're interested in development
you can try it, but I wouldn't recommend it for daily use, therefor
ndiswrapper is ATM the better choice. You can find everything about the
development here:
