I bought my present card from:

http://www.techtopia.com.au/product_info.php/cPath/1_6/products_id/901

It is very common and works fine with wireless tools. At $40, it is good 
value.

But if you want no driver issues, use a Minitar access point in client 
mode.  All you need is an ethernet link to it, and power.

The client mode compatability wrt different access points is listed 
there too.
