A good place to look at is
<URL:http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/>.  A lot of newer
drivers are available here that aren't part of the kernel yet.  You
might find that it helps to add "-I/usr/src/linux/include" or
something similar when sompiling modules separately, but the
instructions with the module should be enough.

I can't recommend any card myself, but I have had 3Com cards
recommended to me.
