The Telecomm department where I work suggests the Cisco Aironet card; they support Win98, Win2k and various versions of Linux --the Aironet is also supported by FreeBSD. The Aironet card has a bit more power than the Lucent/WaveLan/Oronico cards, but it's also more money. At the lower end of the spectrum is the LynkSys card. I've heard a lot of problems about that card from various sources, all second-hand, so I'd investigate that choice a lot more thoroughly before I made that purchase. The LynkSys card is less expensive than either the WaveLan or the Aironet cards.
