Here's a good page I found from a "Wireless LAN Linux" search on Google. There's also a page somewhere that tells you which cards it supports so that you can just Ctrl+F and look for it.</div>

It's cheaper and there seems to be more Linux support for B cards. I'll let you know how much difficulty (if any) I encounter.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Linksys and Dlink cards work well, but it all depends on the distro of Linux you are using, Red Hat, FreeBSD, Debian, SuSE, and Mandrake all have really good wifi support...strangely enough in the world of wifi, the cheaper stuff works better than the rest, in any OS...</div>
