In my experience, you're simply best going to either
http://prism54.org/ (if you can find one still) or http://madwifi.org/

cards on the "known to work" lists. If you buy the wrong revision,
return it.
Isn't madwifi a proprietary driver? Are things really so bad that
people on LKML are recommending users buy this junk?

I'd been waiting for along time to get a wireless card for my Linux
system at a reasonable price. A couple of weeks ago CompUSA had zyxel
g102's fo 19.95 and zyxel base stations
for 19.95 - no rebates were involved:) So I got one of each. The pc-card
uses an atheros chip
which is supported by MadWifi. The module includes a binary hal module
that keeps the
card from being abused - programmed out of FCC specs. Why is so
different from a card that
has to have firmware loaded on it that in essence does the same thing -
prevents the driver
writer from programming the card out of FCC specs.
And Atheros stepped up to the table and provide this hal binary piece.
My $.02
