[MLUG] recommended Linux-friendly PCI or USB wireless adapter?

["Jonathan King" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

The Asus motherboard we used on our Linux box has every feature known
to man except for on-board wireless networking. To make a long story
short, the place we want to put this box is a long way from where the
router is (and kind of has to be).

One alternatives are to run about 50 feet around a corner, along the
"baseboard" (actually a wall full of book cases), along some actual
baseboard and then up and over a sliding door, around another corner,
and into the box, and then pray that one or more cats do not decide it
is a toy. (We rent, so doing a drop is not really an option here.

The other alternative is to find a robustly supported wireless card
for the linux box (and its AMD64 kernel) that works well with Ubuntu
7.04. A USB 2.0 dongle thing would be okay, if any of those usually
work with Linux, else we have PCI slots to work with (or even an extra
firewire port, for that matter.

Does anybody have any recommendations here?

Thanks again for your help.
