Try to stay away from the atheros chip set, I have heard of people getting this to work under *nix but I haven't had any luck myself
The only support I have found for this is the linuxant driverloader which is a wrapper for the windows drivers and is not free or madwifi which I think is currently only available via cvs, I have gotten this to recognize the card and find my wap but not associate
I would recommend checking out linux-wlan.com to see what chipset different cards have and what works the best

Subject: [TCLUG] quick recommendations on wireless...

Wife was just put on bed rest for the last few months of her pregnancy - 
and I figure it's a good time to make a push for wireless AP and a 
PCMCIA card.

I don't have much time to research and I'll need to buy the stuff from a 
local merchant (best buy, circuit city, compUSA (if I must...), 
mircocenter...)

Have had bad experience with Linksys and would like to stay around $50 
or so...  anyone know of any good deals around ?- must work with Linux 
and win2k
