Which PCI WLAN card "out of the box" ?

Asked by i2hhj

-- Which types of PCI WLAN cards are actually available on the market which support Ubuntu 6.06 "out of the box", (plug and play).
(my Xyxel ZyAir B-320 WLAN PCI card has been working for years under Windows, but it refuses Ubuntu 6.06. And I do not want to do any programming on it)
I have been checking through the Webb for a new card to buy, finding many references of cards which are no more available or which need additional programming.
I could not find clear and precise information on what WLAN PCI card will work on Ubuntu 6.06 without any problems (exept for RalinkRT2500)
Are there other cards ?
thanks for help
