I have had great success with the Belkin 54g cardbus & PCI NICs,
(Slackware 9.1 & Mandy 10.0 respectively), in conjunction with a 
product called ndiswrapper (http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/)
which allows their Windows drivers to be used.  I got mine from
Dixons :D

However, I believe there's a chipset which is natively supported
by Linux so you might want to investigate that possibility.
