I don't even think ndiswrapper would work for Raspberry Pi, because it runs the Windows x86 drivers in a wrapper, and those would not even run on the RPi ARM cpu And one of those people had to find a different Windows driver than came with his AE1200, because that one did not work.

And while sometimes those proprietary drivers are available within Linux, the only people I saw in a brief search who got that working had to use a Windows driver using ndiswrapper in Linux. Broadcom wireless chips often have proprietary drivers not supported by native Linux open source drivers. For one thing there are several versions of AE1200, so what works or not may depend upon which version. WLAN adapters (wireless card) / ACU (Aironet Client Utility) Client OS Type.If you google "Linksys AE1200 linux" you will find discouraging information. Cisco does not have any Linux drivers that support PI21AG cards.

If you do not install a wireless adapter on the computer then the computer will not function the product. The function of the driver is as a wireless adapter performance controller.
