I highly recommend sticking to Avaya/Orinoco/WaveLAN chipsets.  They've
worked well for me.  The Hermes based chipsets are well supported.  I've
got over a dozen in Linux boxes here and there.  

The only problems I've encountered were with the PCI-PCMCIA bridge
cards.  Some older motherboards can't handle them.  They'll only work
with the nearly nonexistent ISA-PCMCIA bridges.

Unfortunately, USB is not supported (or I'd go for that).

Ciao,
