WiFi Card Recommendations

Hi all

Can someone recommend a locally available WiFi card (I'm after both PCI
and PCMCIA versions) that will run natively in Ubuntu?

I have used D-Link and Netgear cards successfully using ndiswrapper but it
is causing irq conflicts on a new install on an old machine (a P3). I've
tried most of the boot parameter work-arounds with no success. Also, I
find a number of wardriving utils I want to try will only work with cards
using native Linux drivers.

I have checked the hardware lists on the ndiswrapper web site and Ubuntu
forums but they mostly recommend cards or particular chipset versions I
have been unable source in Oz.  Are there any "off the shelf" solutions?
