I have a Linksys WPC55AG PCMCIA card working perfectly in Fedora using 
MadWiFi kernel modules.
I have DLink DWL-520+  wireless PCI adapter that is running in RH9 
(would have to research what I did to install this, it has been a while)
I have a Cisco Aironet  PCI352 Wireless PCI adapter running in RH9 using 
Cisco's drivers

If there is something I can do to help you, just let me know.

My best suggestion would be to use Linksys and the MadWiFi modules that 
are available on DAG Repo.
