I'll second that.  I've got an old Dell TrueMobile 1500 802.11b card, which
is an ORiNoCo  Gold OEM'd.  It's only B, and it's 16-bit PCMCIA, but it
works pretty much flawlessly in any distro newer than 3 years old or so,
I've even used it with an old copy of FreeBSD, say 4.3ish on a 486SLC50
laptop for WarDrving.  Very capable, very compatible cards.
