I successfully used instructions at
http://eksfiles.net/2008/01/using-the-linksys-wusb54g-v1-or-v4-with-ubuntu-gutsy/
for setting up a WUSB54G (v1) on 9.04, using ndiswrapper (whatever
that is).  I have seen reports that this will also work for 54GC
though I cannot vouch for this.  Google for 'ubuntu wusb54gc' yields
loads of results.
