Admittedly I am struggling with a firmware update on this as we speak, but I have mine, relatively successfully connected via my Raspberry Pi, using the DeConz community drivers.
Not sure whether you can use it to sniff an existing network or not, if that is what you are intending to do.... Maybe there is other software you can use to achieve that, I am using it to achieve adding IKEA devices to my HE setup that either cannot connect to HE natively or have limited capabilities...
