What _are_ you talking about?
This is an 11g card:

GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)
summer@gw:~$ /sbin/iwconfig eth1
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"annagloria"
Mode:Master Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:60:64:03:DC:B8
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Sensitivity=20/200
Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

Se prism54.org
Atheros also have 11g chipset(s). See madwifi.sf.net
I prefer cards that have proper Linux drivers. ndiswrapper is a bandaid.
