Kingston, MacSense, DLink and others make cards that work. There are  
chipsets that are generically supported, in that a card using that  
chipset probably will work. If a little googling doesn't find you  
specifics I'll dig through my drawers for the cards. Don't get ripped  
off by purchasing a card from a Mac company. You should be able to  
get a card for $10 to $20.
