ndiswrapper. If you want working (11g) wireless with Linux, best 
prospect is probably a wireless card labelled "atheros." d-link and 
netgear have such, but of course the nice OS X software configuration 
won't work with those. Probably they won't even work at all on OS X 
without some work.

The airport extreme (bcm43xx) *does* work has worked in the past. 
Recently its gone to pot with newer kernels and Network Manager since 
wpa was added. I can get it to work by forcing the rate to 11Meg with 
our cisco gear at work at home it works at 54Meg.
