Thanks Wayne, unfortunately the madwifi Compatibility page is broken when I go there (http://www.madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility).  No problem, I have decided to go with the D-Link WNA-2330 after research and some reviews indicating people have had it work great with Linux distros.  It is Atheros/ath5k based.  Coincidentally this is the same adapter I bought for a family member's XP laptop a couple years ago, at more than twice the price I paid today (~$20 USD).  I was not impressed with the XP drives but after reading up on the ath5k project I anticipate better success with Debian.
