Hi Martin,

This thread would seem to indicate your search will not be in vain.  
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=1756217#post1756217

However, note that if you're looking for a manufacturer to expressly state 
they are Linux compatible, you're a few years too early.  Still, with the 
return policy clarified beforehand, you should be able to get something 
that will work.

Also, check pricewatch.com for a list of cards.  There's quite a lot to 
choose from, and though I didn't look at all of the cards, of the ones I 
did, none of them said Linux compatible.  It doesn't mean they aren't, just 
that it isn't guaranteed.

Good luck,
Justin
