Your best bet is to compile a list of preferred make/models that you
like, then Google for something like "<make> <model> linux".  You'll
find driver projects like the Linux-WLAN stuff, ADMtel, Orinoco, etc. 
Generally, I stick to the old-school Intersil Prism2 devices thanks to
their HostAP support.

You can find old pcmcia DWL-650's (fan-shaped antennae!) on ebay for $30
or so, and Sohoware offers a PCI Prism2 card
(http://store.yahoo.com/sohowaredirect/ncp130.html) which includes an
external detachable antennae.

Really, everyone has their own preferences on wireless hardware.  Some
folks go for hardware with a more powerful signal, I tend to focus on
products with solid drivers and feature support.
