I'd like to point out as well http://linux-wless.passys.nl/, which
has a lot of information about wireless cards.  There is a colour
coding system to say whether it works well or badly or not at all
with Linux; the site does not consider using ndiswrapper or
the linuxant driver loader, which have sites of their own (and links
from this one).  Using the advice from there, I bought a Unex
UR055g from Maplin, which has worked pretty well.  (There were
no problems with the original drivers, some with drivers in December,
which I simply replaced with the older driver, and the problems went
away with a new release of the driver in January.)
