What is the best wireless card to get for an Linux distro?

I have a belkin 54g 7010 (I believe rev 02) I tried getting it working using ndiswrapper but it doesn't work when I boot up and I am sick of playing with it and I was wondering what would be a good linux distro or a good card for using linux.

    Belkin cards will work great. Ndiswrapper is ok, but not that great. There is a much better software package called MadWifi. Works well as long as you follow their directions carefully.

    Their website is located at: http://www.madwifi.org/

    Orinoco Cards are awesome, but the best way is to check the distro notes and buy a card that is in its driver list.
