I have a buddy who has recently purchased several cards all compatible with 
linux, he is in Fresno, and if you are interested I will send him your email 
address and he will contact you about purchasing one of them. I'm sure they'd 
be a decent price.

Otherwise, orinoco cards will be your best bet. I prefer motorola and linksys 
cards. All the cards my friend has have OSS drivers.
