If you can still find one, the Cisco Aeronet(sp?) seem to work great. Just 
be warned that even the same models of cards have been known to use 
different chipsets (i.e. switching from the well supported prism chipsets to 
the proprietary broadcom). Most models can be made to work with the 
ndiswrapper, but if you can get a native chipset (prism, atheros, etc.) then 
it will be a much better experience.
