I have seen people say they had good luck with ralink 2500 based
wireless since it has GPL'd drivers with complete sources. A list of
cards using those chips can be found here (pay careful attension to
revisions since some stupid companies change chipsets with just a
revision change, and a model that you thought was one thing is now
another):

Even prism based cards are often softmac now and hence not supported by
the prism driver that works with hardmac chips.
