Something is a little wrong here.  The Realtek RTL8139 is a wired
Ethernet 10/100 interface chip.

Probably this means a Realtek 8180 chip is actually in the card.  This
is a recently launched WLAN chip, which Linksys appear to have switched
to.

I don't think anyone is yet working on a driver.  I have now emailed
Realtek asking for programming information.
