Atheros (from Google for "atheros linux"):

Intel "Centrino" (from Google for "centrino linux"):

I use the ipw2100 daily.  Only problem is monitor mode was flaky last I
checked.

I've used the Atheros driver, and it worked, but I couldn't get the
Turbo/Super modes working, so 54Mbps only.  Things may have changed
since I last looked at it.  I never tried monitor mode with it.
