I use the Orinoco and recommend it as well.  Since my DSL is much 
slower than my wireless already, I don't have any immediate need to 
upgrade to 802.11g.  And the Orinoco is the only card I have seen "just 
work" in SuSE, Mandrake, RedHat, and Fedora.  I have not installed 
Debian or Slack on notebooks lately... ;)
