No official support, do a google on the madwifi driver and the word
sourceforge. There is a driver that works with it. I know because I
am using it. The pain is that if you use such a card you will need to
recompile this driver every time you get a new kernel.
It works fine for me but I was a silly bugger and did not bother asking unlike you who seems to be getting his ducks in a row before making a purchase.
Do a search on the archives of this list. Someone just asked about wireless support and what card was best just recently.
I'm not sure if the offer is still going on - but CompUSA was selling AT&T Plug&Share 6500G (a pci card, for desktops) for $13.00 (web order only) - it's a 802.11g card (54Mbps - well, theoretically 54Mbps ...) and it works with madwifi.
Don't know if they have the pcmcia card on sale as well.
