No.  Use google to determine what driver to download.

A simple google search shows that this card uses the "broadcom" chipset.
The only solution that I know of for the "broadcom" chipset is to either
return it to the vendor you bought it from and get a card based on the 
atheos chipset or use the nisdriver along with the "windows" driver that 
came with the card.

See the following for info on wireless on Linux.
