Most "prism2/GT" boards work great with in-kernel drivers, but they can be hard to find. "Atheros" based cards are plentiful and are supported through the "madwifi" drivers. Some others can be made to work with the windows driver via the NDIS wrapper, but I have never tried this. Unfortunately, manufacturers change chipsets frequently, sometimes without even updating the version number of the product, so good luck!
