Obtain a Linksys WPC11 v3 card.  I have been using this card for quite some 
time with little issue.  Actually, I was able to use this wireless card to 
install FreeBSD 4.10 on a laptop recently.  I have not been able to get any 
wifi working on FreeBSD 5.x, so I don't know there.  You can normally obtain 
a ver3 card on ebay for around $30-50 US.  I got mine for $35, and it was 
new, in the shrink-wrapped packaging.
