Here is an alternative to PCI. I recommend using a wired ethernet to WIFI bridge. They are relatively cheap, do not require any of your CPU, and work out of the box.

I bought a WRT54G, the wireless swiss-army-knife, for about $50 US. It plugs into the ethernet jack that all modern systems include.

I then uploaded the latest GPL Sveasoft firmware to the WRT54G. With the new firmware, I put the WRT54G in client mode.

From now on, no matter what operating system I use, it just works. There are NO drivers to worry about.
