André,

Which Operating System (OS) are you going to be using ?

If you're using Ubuntu/Linux on the board then you can more than likely pull a relevant ARM driver from the repository in the distribution.

The WiPi is supported by the RALink driver, RT5370 or RTL8188. If the driver isn't in the kernel, though I imagine it should be, you can find how to install/download/modprobe the correct one (and running lsusb in ubuntu will help you to identify what chip's running on your WiPi.
