Be aware that if you do use the ndiswrapper setup, your card will not
necissarily operate to it's full capicity. ndis drivers are intended to be
used as network boot drivers...they have enough to get a functional
network so that you can do things like automatic network installs.

If ndiswrapper is your only choice...well it's your only choice because
the card maker hasn't released specs so a native open source driver can be
made.

Personally, I'd avoid any card that doesn't have native drivers if at all
possible. There are supported 54g wireless cards if that's what you're
after, you just have to be picky when buying hardware.
