Belkin's Wi-Fi cards work nicely with Linux, namely the F5D6020.
However, it has no external antenna jack, unlike the Orinoco or desktop
Cisco cards, which can come in handy for site surveys on a wireless
network, among *other* things.

I would go for the Orinoco ... I have inherent fear of Belkin (this 
extends beyond previous mentioned experience with Belkin USB Wireless 
(not a good experience)).

The orinoco can be used with the Windows netstubmler ... but if you want

to use hostAP mode you need a Prism card (at least thats the way it used

to be).
