Looking for a wifi PCI card with native Linux drivers, any help?

I've been meaning to get around to buying a wifi card for my Archlinux box for absolutely ages now. Originally, I had my eye on the Netgear WG311, but when I look at the recent comments, apparently the new (v3) cards no longer use the Atheros chipset, so I'd have to use ndiswrapper, which I just don't want to do.

An alternative is the pricier WG311T, which according to the comments, still uses the Atheros chipset.

Can anybody recommend a good wireless card with native wifi drivers, that can be bought in the UK online?

You might find one here: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/ind … e=Hardware

The rt2x00 drivers are now in the mainline kernel, and improving all the time.
