I've been using the orinoco classic gold card for a long time with good 
results; but perhaps a word of caution if you go to a netgear WG511 card.  
One of the cards will work with the prism54 driver and one won't.  Same 
card different place of manufacture.  The cards branded "made in taiwan" 
work; the cards marked "made in china" will not.  On 
comp.os.linux.portable, I got good advice to purchase a $20 JAHT card 
which will work with the prism54 driver quite well. That's a 11g card as 
well.

I also use a intel 2200bg card with the ipw2200 driver with good results.
