Anything should "somewhat" work if you want to go the ndiswrapper route,
although some features might not work that way. All Broadcom chipsets
fit into this category the last I knew. I have 2 Linksys WMP54G cards I
can sell which fit into this category. They're better suited to windoze
hosts.
I also have 2 Hawking HWP54G pci cards with the rt2x00 chipset that I
used five years or so ago. At that time I had to build my own driver,
but it appears that drivers for this made it into the linux kernel 2
years ago, beginning with v2.6.24 (see
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). I'd be happy
to sell you any of these. Let me know off list if you're interested.
