As Antti said, any card will do but I recommend using a card that is supported by HostAP (http://hostap.epitest.fi)(PRISM-based cards). The reason is that they can be used as an advanced wireless access point and provide good support for the latest wireless security technologies. You don't want to get stuck with a card that works only with a proprietary driver, or works with an open source driver but with a subset of the features or has a driver that cannot work with WPA-enabled access point for example.
Senao and NetGate both provide cards with PRISM chips, extended ranges and a variety of antenna options. There are others of course, but my personal experience with those cards was a good one. I hope that helps!

Any card should do. We have mostly built-in (laptop) Intel ipw2100 and ipw2200 interfaces. We generally just use those that are well supported on Linux. > Also is there a plan to release the MIPL2.0 HOWTO? I was in contact with Lars Strand in November, and he said he was going to update it, but was busy with his real work at the time.
