Depends a lot on the drivers available and when they get loaded in the boot procedure. It's the exact same risk for the exact same reason anyway - the slightest mistake will brick it.

There's presumably a sane way to update it but we don't know what it is, being we don't know what distrubution it is. "Linux" is just the name of the 3 megabyte file which loads when you turn it on, everything else is down to the distro. Check for a file like /etc/release which states what it is

     urtwnfw -- Firmware Module for Realtek Wireless driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this module into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device urtwnfw

     This will include three firmware images inside the kernel.  If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one
     of the following:

	   device urtwn-rtl8192cfwT
	   device urtwn-rtl8192cfwU
	   device urtwn-rtl8188eufw

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   urtwn-rtl8192cfwT_load="YES"
	   urtwn-rtl8192cfwU_load="YES"
	   urtwn-rtl8188eufw_load="YES"

     This module provides access to firmware sets for the Realtek RTL8188CUS, RTL8188CE-VAU, RTL8188EUS, RTL8188RU and RTL8192CU chip based USB
     WiFi adapters.  It may be statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.

     For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at /usr/share/doc/legal/realtek must be agreed to by adding the following line to
     loader.conf(5):

	   legal.realtek.license_ack=1
