I have a Hawking HWP54G PCI card (two, actually) working with FC3
(2.6.10). It has the TI-ACX111 chipset. There are two drawbacks:
1) the drivers are extremely experimental, and I had to build/install
from source. Shouldn't be a problem with gentoo. ;)
2) WEP isn't working yet, and may not be for quite some time.
If you don't need encryption, it should work for you. I got mine from
newegg.com.
