You didn't tell anything about the device except that it's Avaya.

Anyway, there is only one working USB driver in the Subversion
repository, and it's called orinoco_usb.

You can run lsusb to find the ID of your device and check if the ID is
in that driver.

The USB code is currently in the USB branch:
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/orinoco/branches/usb

Your question is assuming that the driver will need to be ported.  I
have no evidence that the driver is not portable across CPU platforms.
