My only experience are with Linksys wpc11 version 2.0 which uses the orinoco cs module. And a netgear wg511. Only thing about the Netgear is there are some that work with the prism54 module and others the will only work using ndiswarapper.
Here is a few links on what to watch out for with Netgear.

Most wireless cards should work fine using the ndiswapper module. Read up on that.
Hope this helps.
