How about a Cisco Aironet 350 PCI card.  It's an older, proven model 
(802.11b) with good power output.  It uses the an driver.  It works 
great with FreeBSD and Linux (but is hosed in the latest release of 
NetBSD).

The card costs about $200 retail; but I just got one on eBay for much 
less.

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould
