The best supported wireless cards I've found are those based on the
Atheros chipsets. These are 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g cards, that
support 54/108 Mbps, SuperG modes, and 128-bit WEP and WPA. Linux
support is provided via the madwifi project, and WPA support is
provided by the wpa_supplicant project.
A list of manufacturers and cards is available at

I've been using a D-Link DWL-G650 rev B2, and a NetGEAR WG511T
successfully with a DI-624 rev C3 router. Laptops run Windows XP,
Debian testing and unstable, and FreeBSD 6.
