I guess no, but since it doesn’t have a standard compliant MAC layer that might be of limited benefit.

If you really want to look into integrating it in Linux, I would implement it as virtual WiFi device, similar to hwsim (https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/mac80211_hwsim). Then the higher layer stuff like hostap and wpa_supplicant would just work out of the box.

Best,
