Hi David,
I have three cards:
 [Lucent Orinoco Gold]
 [Cisco Aironet 340] 
 [Cisco Aironet 350]

All three cards worked without hassle on:
 - Gentoo-1.4 and later
 - Debian Sid
 - Ubuntu-5.04 and later
 - FreeBSD 5.2 and later
 - OpenBSD 3.x.
 - Apple OSX 10.3 and later

These are the OS versions I have personally used these cards in.  Each
distribution mentioned above may have supported these cards in their
earlier releases.

Unfortunately, these are not cheap 802.11b cards.  :(  But, they are
good ones!

...Kevin
