Linear polorizers are designed for film and circular for digital. I understand that unacceptable results come from using linear polarizers on digital cameras.
Actually, linear polarizers do not work on autofocus cameras, and cameras with through-the-lens autoexposure meters. It is explained here. It has little to do with film vs. digital.

Theoretically you could shoot with a linear polarizer on an AF/AE camera, but you'd be giving up accurate AF and AE, which defeats the purpose of having those features in the first place.
