I'm afraid that I can't provide any info concerning those card manufacturers. I have learned, though, that most any card with a Prism2/3 chipset (anything "Intersil", for example) can be made to work. My knowledge is strictly 802.11b, though.
A good list of 802.11b cards with the Prism2+ chipset can be found at http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/Prism2Card The HostAP driver works with most of these I think.

which is also useful. This HostAP driver, together with the wireless-tools package, seems to be the answer for Prism2 PCI cards. However, I'm a little stymied, since nothing seems to work out-of-the-box, and I'm a beginner at compilation/building binaries. I currently have a question over at the leaf-devel list for that purpose. Hope I've given you something to start with.

Hopefully someone else, then, can answer this question: is there a PCI 802.11b solution that seems to work with Bering-uClibc2.x as packaged? Perhaps with wlan-ng? Because I'm about at my wits' end on this one. Thanks.

I'm presently running the base Bering-uClibc 2.1 off CD with HostAP, 3com 3CRDW696 PCI wireless card and netgear FA310TX ethernet cards. Working great so far but I'm still trying to get bridging between the wireless and ethernet lined out. It works fine as it is now but I don't really want to do any firewalling or masquerading of the wireless segment. Here's some info from what I have working at present.
Here's a list of the modules I'm loading: >pci-scan >tulip >hostap >hostap_crypt_wep >hostap_pci
And here's a copy of my lrpkg.cfg:
>root,etc,config,local,modules,iptables,dhcpd,shorwall,ulogd,dnscache,dropbear,weblet,libm,wireless,wireutil
wireless segment of my interfaces files: >auto wlan0 >iface wlan0 inet static >address 192.168.3.1 >netmask 255.255.255.0 >broadcast 192.168.3.255 >wireless_essid beringpoint >wireless_channel 1 >wireless_key xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx >up svi dhcpd restart
Hope some of that helps you. Good luck!
