I had a couple of 3Com cards which worked, 802.11b, and I got four used 
cards at a computer show for $25 and two worked. They were cheap because 
the Windows drivers had gotten lost.

You sounds as if you want something known to work, for that price I took 
a chance. I would go USB, there are more known working models around.
