No -- check out cards using the Ralink rt2500 chipset.
There's an open-source driver project at
rt2x00.serialmonkey.com, and it's quite stable in a
beta release. The company GPL'd a Linux driver and the
community has taken over development.
The Cnet CWP-854 PCI card has this chip and costs
under $30. Comes with an external antenna.
A list of hardware with rt2500 is here:
