No official support, do a google on the madwifi driver and the word
sourceforge.  There is a driver that works with it.  I know because I
am using it.  The pain is that if you use such a card you will need to
recompile this driver every time you get a new kernel.

It works fine for me but I was a silly bugger and did not bother
asking unlike you who seems to be getting his ducks in a row before
making a purchase.

Do a search on the archives of this list.  Someone just asked about
wireless support and what card was best just recently.
