Well, you need to let us know your location and what type of wireless card you are looking for. In the UK, Linux compatible wireless devices are available here.

You can use almost any wireless card with linux using ndiswrapper. See the HCL here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/index.php/cat/10

Some popular WLAN manufacturers include: Linksys, Netgear, Realtek, and Belkin.

I’ve found the Ralink cards to be cheap (as in 5USD), natively supported (without any driver wrappers), and small form-factor.
