There are no "G" cards that work with "out of the box" on any "free" OS at the present time. This seems to be a result of the fact that the manufacturers of the chipsets are unwilling to release the specs necessary for developers to build the necessary drivers, and/or provide the firmware under a licensing arrangement compatible with open-source licensing. I plan on sticking with the "B" cards that use the Prism chipset (e.g. Orinoco) until the chipset manufacturers and WiFi vendors see the light, or until hell freezes over - whichever comes first :) www.seaattlewireless.net used to keep tabs on all of this...
