It can be a bit tricky to get the right card. I'm currently using some
(old) netgear PCMCIA cards in PLX adapters at two different sites. They
work well, but are hard to find, unless you go on ebay. It's a bit
problematic because manufacturers change their chipsets without changing
the model, so it's quite hard to get the right card with the right
chipset.

You'll want to check http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/ for the list of
drivers/cards that are supported.
