Is there a Linux driver for it?

That's a Windows routing issue.  I know nothing about 
configuring Windows TCP/IP routing (nor even whether 
it is possible).

If the Windows computer gives you a TCP/IP gateway, then
Linux will be able to use it.

Or run a floppy Linux (with wireless module) on the
Windows laptop.  A Linux router/gateway/IPmask can
be quite small.  Everything could fit on a single
floppy.

We have an ssh client package for BL3.  I seem to recall 
someone running sshd on BL2 (?) a year or two back.
