What do you mean with natively? In my notebook, there is an Intel ipw2100 
working perfectly. I can not remember anymore if I had to install the 
firmware package manually, but I guess not.

I am currently experimenting with building a wireless LAN access point. On 
this router board, I installed a Compex WLM54G which has a Atheros 802.11b/g 
miniPCI card working flawlessly using a minimalized Debian (and the madwifi 
driver). Even setting txpower works. You can get this card (and the router 
boards) for USD 30.- from http://pcengines.ch/order.php .

If you can find some, older miniPCI cards using the Prism 2/2.5/3 (802.11b) or 
PrismGT (802.11g) chipset will work out of the box since the HostAP drivers 
are integrated into the Kernel since 2.6.14. But I actually did not find any 
to buy. At work in 2003, I bought Dell Truemobile 1500 cards (or 1100, I am 
not sure anymore) having a Prism chipset.
