I have an Orinoco Gold 11Mbit card and use the IOXperts driver. It works fine 
and supports a wide variety of cards. It's 802.11b only, however. They seem 
to be still working on 802.11g or a. Price is about $15-$20. It might be 
harder to find a new 802.11b only card, but if you do they are pretty cheap 
and give plenty of bandwidth for most home Internet lines.

It looks like Orange Micro has an 802.11a/b/g card that works with 
Atheros-based wireless cards. Cost is $15. I haven't used it, but check the 
info on the web and for the cost, it's pretty low risk. Check the list of 
cards it supports before you buy one.

There is an open source free wireless driver on SourceForge for a limited 
number of 802.11b cards, but I don't think it's been updated recently.
