Hi,

This page should help you out:

So I think you will need ndiswrapper+rt2870.inf and rt2870.sys files from the Windows install driver CD for your Linksys WUSB100.

One thing to note. Use the XP driver files with ndiswrapper when available rather than Vista driver files. Vista ones will not work correctly in the vast majority of cases.
