I posted this question last week when I lost the antenna to my Netgear
MA211 wireless lan card and was advised the best uptodate info was at
http://Linux-Wireless.org
That didn't help much. I then went to
www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan-adapters.html.gz
because I use the linux-wlan-ng=0.2.1-pre26 driver with my Netgear MA311
card. From the table I ordered a 3com 3crdw696 PCI wireless lan card
for my second computer. I have not yet received the card and will
confirm that it works with the linux-wlan-ng driver when it comes. This
is old technology - 802.11b - but with a DSL connection downloads run at
70 to 90 kBps. New 3com cards were being sold at $ 29.
Others may have better advice - it was frustrating trying to find the
latest and best information.
