I would chip in for Ralink RT2500 chipset cards.  The current driver
is rt2500 and based around driver code released by Ralink. The rt2x00
experimental driver will be in the kernel eventually.  While rt2500
supposedly doesn't support 4k stacks my EDIMax card is running fine on
FC3/2.6.12-1.1378 (better than the official driver on WinMe in fact -
WPA issues).
