as I said before. any proxim orinoco gold card (802.11b) will just work
and has since like 1998 (when it was the lucent wavelan gold).

That strikes me as a little lazy. To my mind the comparativly minor
inconvenience of rebuilding the mad-wifi source rpm when you install a new
kernel rpm is worth it to unlock the potential of an atheros a/b/g card.

it is a faq.
you can look at some commentary on many cards in the seattle wirelesss
hardware comparison.
