I've had good experiences with the Ralink rt2500 chipset.  There's a GPL
driver that should be standard with most distros (certainly works with
Ubuntu).  The driver also directly supports WPA so no need to mess
around with the supplicant stuff.

The specific card I have is a Level One WPC-0301 which I bought from
Ascent (ItemID=200410).

Cheers
Grant
