I have just tried it, with my WUSB600N V2, and found that it works perfectly well on the 64bit version of Karmic Koala, on my Dell Latitude D830, if I use the NDISWRAPPER utility. Install the 'Windows Wireless Drivers' utility using apt or the new 'Ubuntu Software Center'. Then, download and extract the Windows XP driver (file called WUSB600Nv2_XP_1.4.4.0.zip) from the Linksys site.

Unplug your USB stick.

Using the Windows Wireless Drivers utility, install the driver by selecting the .inf file from the extracted WinXPX64 folder. Keep the dialog open, and insert your USB stick. Then close the dialog, and just use the Network Manager applet. It should now work.

Warning: DO NOT UNPLUG THE USB STICK WHILE THE SYSTEM IS RUNNING. This will lead to the stick no longer being recognized, and NDISWRAPPER will hang. I'll try to attach a screenshot later.
