The only support that I am aware of is for the Atheros a, a/b, and a/b/g chipsets. Atheros has released a binary only driver (still very beta) - for more info see:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi
Also, there is an effort to create an opensource driver for this hardware at:
http://team.vantronix.net/ar5k/
This is driver is in its very early stages, only useful for serious developers.
I am not aware of any drivers or efforts involving the Broadcom b/g chipset, which seems to be the dominant chipset for b/g products. (Although I don't know what radio the products you mentioned are based on.)
