As always, if the adapter is supported in the kernel, just select the
menuconfig support and compile the source. If it's not in the kernel,
then google and you might find a driver for it.

Simply google for "BGW200 Linux" or if you have a distro do like "BGW200
debian"

PS: I don't think this is the place to talk about this.

I hope that helps.
