There's prisms and there's prisms. I think if yours works, there should 
be a firmware file on your cd: a file whose name ends .arm.

There are cards based on prism54 cards that do not yet work with Linux. 
See prism54.org for supported chipsets.

I had the misfortune to buy an smc2802w. The original works, iit has a 
firmware file as I just mentioned. The V2 whichI got does not work, and 
the firmware's embedded in the Windows malware. There is a description 
somewhere at prism54.org on how to get the firmware out, but the 
firmware doesn't actually work with the Li nux driver.
