Thanks Larry, I have already tried the Ndiswrapper using both the TP-Link provided Windows XP(64 & 32bit) drivers as well as ones provided by Realtek on Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04. Both scenarios freezes the OS. And in scenario that I save it in conf file for it to load on startup, the OS freezes on startup. No luck there. Would be interesting to see if anyone else got it to work using ndiswrapper.
