I have a bunch of TRENDnet TEW-443PI and Netgear WG311T cards that work well. They use the ath(4) driver. As a general statement, I'm pretty sure that anything with an Atheros chip inside (a fact often advertised on boxes of the products) that doesn't support any incarnation of 802.11n will work with said driver. http://atheros.rapla.net/ has more details. -Boris
