wireless cards supported on linux

Linux limited support for wireless devices makes one often switch to windows. I often wanted wireless cards that work on linux without any effort. If you want a wireless card to work without any problem, buy a Prism chipset supported on linux exclusively at
http://prism54.org. The card that I have is a Netgear WG511 (Made in Taiwan and not China).

Yesterday I also got a Ralink chipset exclusively supported at http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page for just $16.

My card is Gigabyte WMKG and it works flawlessly on linux. You can find other cards with Ralink chipset at http://ralink.rapla.net/

You may also find a huge bunch of Atheros chipset being supported at http://www.madwifi.org.
