Choosing a supported 11g card for Linux is problematic, especially as
some vendors change the chipset without changing the product model or
desription, and the chipset is crucial.
I have a couple of Netcomm NP5420 cards that work well with prism54
drivers (see prism54).
These cards are also called something else:

Some dlink cards work, but avoid models with + in their names. There's a
page on dlink.com telling what works with what. You don't especially
want one using ndiswrapper which just wraps a standard Windows driver.
Anyone for Windows reliability?
Atheros chipsets apparently are fine, Don't bother with Ti or Broadcom
unless you want to be debugging code written for undocumented interfaces.
Unfortunately, Googling doesn't work well in this instance. See my first
para.
