I have both a D-Link DWL-650 and a Cisco Aironet 350. The linux support is great for both of them, the GPLed driver for the Aironet even supports Cisco's API so the Cisco configuration tools will work with it. As far as signal quality goes, the difference is night and day. While using the Cisco card with the same transmit settings it was able to establish an 11 MBit link when the D-Link couldn't find the AP at any speed.
