Um ... *I* don't really know. I have a Netgear WG511T pci card which is supposed to be natively supported by Linux (and is listed on DSL's web page as working out of the box). To be fair it does work quite well with unencrypted wireless networks, but getting WPA to work is a pain. I guess the best way to go is to find a distro that supports wireless well (like Puppy Linux, hooray).
DSL has a list of cards<http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Verified_Wireless_Cards>verified to work with the WPA disclaimer, I guess. This <http://www.thewares.net/item/33>is a link to the website I am most closely following for scripts and functionality, and a very similar project<http://www.sacbhale.net/dpf.shtml>with some modifications to the scripts and such and a zip file to easily download them all. I guess maybe some other guys'll be able to offer other better suggestions?
