I am most likely buying myself a new Wireless G card (I only have a B now) and router. I was wondering what is the best supported Wireless card in Linux. The one I have now gives me massive headaches, and only works under certain conditions.

Are you sure it is your wifi card and not interference from other people's access points?

Might as well consider buying N 802.11N hardware, and may be easier to get feedback from some users about that. There are so many 802.11G cards and routers that it is difficult to say it will work.
What works great for some people doesn't work so well for others. My guess is that most cards work well, search the forums for people with problems with wireless and stay away from those cards, the others ... it's a leap of faith. Besides I guess you can return it if it doesn't work as expected.

I have a D-Link 802.11n PCMCIA-card. It has an atheros chipset supported by both the ath9k-module in the kernel and the ndiswrapper-module.
I don't use it anymore since I have a new laptop, but this card works perfectly. Up until kernel .27 it worked with ndiswrapper. In kernels .28 and .29 it worked perfectly with ath9k and with more recent kernels, results are mixed for the ath9k-module - but ndiswrapper keeps doing a perfect job.
