I have Mint 9 running on my Powerbook G4 Titanium. I bought the machine to debug
the big-endian issues for driver rtl8192cu. I have a number of USB wireless
devices, and all work just fine.
Please post the output of the lsusb command so that we know the USB IDs for your
device. That will determine what driver it needs.
