I use a Dlink DWL-520 PCI card with the wi driver and this works just fine.  I
currently use it as a base station (HOSTAP mode) but it also works as a client
(using an Apple base station) or in Ad-Hoc mode.  I've also used the DLink 
DWL-650 PCMCIA card in a laptop which also works fine.  These two cards use 
the "Prism2.5" chipset and any other Prism2.5-based cards should work as well.

These cards are 11Mpbs 802.11b.  I've been using various 4.x versions, 
starting about 4.5.

NB: the (very similar-sounding) DWL-520+ and DWL-650+ (22Mbps) parts are _not_
the same.  They are not Prism2.5 based, and I have no idea if they work in 
FreeBSD at all.
