It's always worth a shot.
I've checked the driver build and there is nothing different between the StrongArm and MIPS one settings wise.
As for the linksys, personally I tend to avoid anything linksys branded when H/PC related. Their drivers are a nightmare.
Have a look on the HCL for compatibility lists:
