Hi,
there's a thread about this already, though it is not in English.
Mezon did have a site for patch in linux, though I see that it is down at the moment.
Another solution for getting Mezon adapter working:
Mezon uses WiMax, there's a package in Ubuntu for that: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/madwimax
and patch for Mezon:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25614

Personally I haven't tried that patch out (since I don't own any Mezon adapters at all), though I think that you should download the tarball from the patch website and simply install it by:

chmod +x madwimax-mezon-svn.install
./madwimax-mezon-svn.install

Though, I'm not if this works.
