When I was looking for a wireless PCMCIA card I went with this brand, works great with FreeBSD. They do have a PCI card version, I would check out the 2nd link, check the capability and see if it would work for you. I love my Orinoco card for my laptop. I bought the card at CDW! http://www.proxim.com/products/wifi/client/goldpccard/index.html (my Pcmcia card) http://www.proxim.com/products/wifi/client/11abgpci/index.html (the pci card version) Good Luck!
