Atheros based cards work well. You'll need to install the madwifi-ng drivers for it. emerge madwifi-ng on Gentoo :-)
For a list of cards with this chipset see here http://customerproducts.atheros.com/customerproducts/
It doesn't give me much confidence when they list the Netgear WG311 which according to the Atheros compatability list now doesn't work because the chip has been changed.

One of my old machines had a Netgear WG311 v2 which just worked, in fact Ubuntu detected it during installation and prompted for keys etc.
See above
I don't want to use the software, the name escapes me, that uses Windows drivers as I've had problems using that in the past.
ndiswrapper ?
Yes it was ndsiwrapper.
I've downloaded and compiled the madwifi-ng source and while everything seemed to go swimmingly depmod -a produces a 'Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.27/net/wlan.o'.
I've tried loading the modules, although I don't have a wireless card yet, and they fail to load possibly because of the above.
Any helpful hints?
Many thanks for the help so far.
