[vox] Wireless PCMCIA recommendations

You don't specify, but I'm guessing you want 802.11g.  From what I 
understand, the prism family chipset is one of the best supported in 
linux, so check here:

http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php

For a large table of cards and what chipsets they have, check here (last 
updated in February, so maybe a little dated):

http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz

 From that list, it looks like Netgear puts either prism or atheros 
chipsets in their 802.11g cards.  Atheros chipsets have good reports of 
linux support with the "madwifi" driver.  Seems to me like Netgear is a 
safe choice.
