I have a netcomm NP5430 (http://www.netcomm.com.au/WIRELESS_Adaptor.php) for my laptop. Its pretty well supported under Linux, although I have been having some trouble with it (this is most likely my dodgy laptop/kernel though). The latest 2.6 kernel certainly has support for prism54 cards. Prism54.org has a list of compatible cards:- http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php
