I know that 'em' flavor drivers work fine with PCIe and that 'ath' driver also does (in this case, the ath is an 'express card' ... which I'm told is another flavor of PCIe). I think the only oddball thing about PCIe is that some flavours of PCIe can show up as a USB device rather than a PCI device.
