A harder problem than you think. Reason: the manufacturer of card Foo123 will happily change chipsets in the device without changing the model number (or giving any clue whatsoever). Thus, a card believed to be working with one of the drivers (e.g. Prism54) will not work at all (because they changed the chipset). There's the 'ndiswrapper' driver, which lets you use the Windows driver for the card, but even that is no sure thing. An option to consider (if circumstances and wallet fit) is to buy a wireless Ethernet bridge (usually marketed as "wireless gaming adapter"). The Linux box (or a hub full of them) plugs into the Ethernet port -- no wirelessness to worry about at all -- and let the bridge shoot all the packets up to your (wireless) router.
