I've got a machine I'm setting up in the office to dual boot Linux & Windows, but we are out of ethernet ports and I'd rather buy a wireless card than another hub. In looking through the various sites referenced in the wiki and elsewhere, there is an awful lot of information about what drivers work with what, but I'd really like to short-circuit the research process and just ask the question:
Can you recommend a wireless NIC for a pci slot? I need 802.11g compatibility, and our network is WPA-PSK protected. Looking for a card with good performance but relatively simple to get up and running.
I tried to get wireless up with my Asus P5B WiFi motherboard at home, and although had some success, I just don't have that kind of time to spend messing around with this particular project.
All suggestions are welcome!

get the hub. for the same price, you add support for at least 16 times as many computers, and you have zero configuration problems.
It's also a desktop, so it makes sense to wire it, it's not moving anywhere, and wireless adds extra room for error.
