I had a lot of messig around with a rather flash 3com wireless card with 
a popout arial (the details are somewhere on this list).  It was marked 
as supported in various Linux compatibility lists etc. etc.

In the end I decided to get an Orinoco gold card by Lucent (they have 
sold the brand to another company; however the cards remain the same).  
Anyway, the Orinoco card is autodeteced by every distro I have used and 
works beautifully.  Worth every extra penny.

Kind regards
Xander
