I'm going to need a WLAN-PCI-Card for my desktop-pc. I think I'll get one of these:

Which do you recommend? How is the support for Linux, especially Gentoo? Are there any Howtos for these special cards or are general howtos working with one of these?

Thanks in advance!

I recently got a Belkin. The UK version uses the ralink 2500 chipset, for which open source drivers exist, so it works fine under Gentoo.
