I can *highly* recommend cards based on the Rt2500 chipset, the driver is open
source and included in the distrubution now. The cards work out of the box. They
are also usually very inexpensive, but not cheap.
I have a ZoNet card, it was only $20/us and works flawlessly. You can get one at:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833130117
Here's more about the driver if you are interested:

This manufacturer open sourced it's drivers, so I try to support them.
Oh, and ubuntu info about this chipset and how to use cards based on it is here:

and a bunch of cards based on this chipset are here:

Take care,
