One thing Ubuntu does well, is keep the hardware support list pretty
up-to-date. Here is the section on the Wireless:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
While it is not always true that the hardware will work with Debian (the
whole Ubuntu restricted drivers and whatnot) it should at least give you
an idea of the problems people are having or if the hardware works right
off the bat.
The card you mentioned is indeed listed so my guess is that is should be
easily do-able. You may want to see if they have any more comments or
problems in their forums.
Have fun!
