RouterOS only supports ATHEROS wireless chipsets. So, no.

i took a look in http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Supported_Hardware

it says ROS 5.0rc4 will work!

am i correct?

It should work, but I recommend miniPCI instead. We have had some stability issues with this USB chip

that's true

i have a usb nic card and didn't stand long

i think a usb virus in the server cache is the reason
