Okay, I found an old but fully working PC at my local dump (Sooo lucky :D), which I've installed DSL on. It's running very quickly and I'm thinking of turning the old box into a testing server for my experiments on the web, which I'll set VNC up on. I've been looking for WiFi cards/adapters and the cheapest option would be to get a USB one.

The chipset on that is a SiS 163U. Any idea if I can get this one working, before I blow £9 on it to find out it doesn't work? :p

I was hoping that I could at least set it up using the Prism2 GUI, but according to the Wiki;
