Does it have to be natively Linux compatible?

I am running a Buffalo (Broadcom) G54 pcmcia nic with Puppy
and have a matching pci one that I plan to run with Puppy
on a desktop.

I like them because they have good power and external antenna
connectors.

Someone on the Puppy list made up an app that interfaces them
very easily.  For other distros you will have to wrestle with
ndiswrapper ... every time I tried that with Suse 9.2 it messed
up my pc.
