I can't offer good advise here - for my pcmcia card I bought and tried 
until I got something that worked. Kind of an expensive method...

As a tangent, however, can a business case be made for Red Hat to 
develop / market a proper open source wireless adapter line? I realize 
that the retail channel hasn't been Red Hat's strongest effort over the 
years, so I will not hold my breath.
