  Did you read the WIFI Support in the Documents? Just curious because it lists all of them that work well….nearly any of them will work with ndis wrapper installed (uses the Windows drivers that way). So color me confused…. try this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
  Which has lists like this one for "Linksys" cards that work and what it takes
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsLinksys#PCI

  Also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
  Yep, lots of help and lots of information but it is there.

  Add – I wouldn’t waste a PCI slot – USE USB, save a slot, get better signal since you can mount it remote and get it away from the computer box!

  Oh you can also visit the Penguin Store http://www.thinkpenguin.com/ they sell specifically for LINUX.

  Any name brand card or card that uses a typical chipset will be fine, the only time people really run into issues these days is laptops with screwy wireless firmware or USB network adapters.
