The struggle to find compatible wireless hardware is one of the reasons I 
picked up a DLink DWL-900AP+.  It's compatible with any computer that has an 
ethernet port and a fairly current web browser.

Connect it to your computer's ethernet port and configure it as a client or 
access point using a web browser.  Need to uninstall it to move it to another 
computer?  Just unplug the ethernet cable.  The only drawback is that it uses 
its own power cord.

There is a newer version out now -- DWL-2000AP, I think.

Best of luck,
