From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's a Realtek, don't remember the exact model, but every time I tried to make it work, it simply didn't. Manually installing the driver didn't get me much further either.
I'm not at home to check but my one system may have this, I had to add lines to hw config so it recognized the card. i can check in a few days
