There's a website for these things - 
http://www.expresscard.org/web/do/pub/resourcedirectory
 - that lists those cards that are officially compliant with the standard.  
Sadly (unsurprisingly) when you look at the products listed there's no option 
to select Linux compliant devices - out of the grand sum of 20-odd listed.  
However you might be able to follow up on the manufacturers listed there and 
contact them to ask?

Hope this helps.

If you do happen to find a re-seller of ExpressCards, no matter what OS it's 
for, would you drop me a not please?
