Looking for a good wireless card

I'm trying to hunt down a PCI (preferred, but USB if I have to) wireless network card that is 802.11G and also supports WPA2, that will work in Linux. Anyone know of any good cards?

 

I've been hunting the HCL lists and such...but I just don't have the time right now :P

You'll most likely use wpa_supplicant for the wpa stuff anyhow. I use this with standard WPA-PSK, but WPA2-PSK instead of using TKIP uses AES instead for the encryption.

 

Hopefully wpa_supplicant would support that too for you and easy enough to configure providing of course your card supports it. My wireless point is Netgear, and I think their cards would be OK to use. I have minipci installed in my laptop, and so this is Atheros chipset based. These work with ndiswrapper really well - and easy to configure. Had it running in Mandy as well as Arch (even wrote the howto for it on the arch wiki).

 

EDIT:
