The FSF has information about hardware with FLOSS drivers. Here's the FSF information on wireless cards. After looking around, I bought a Ralink RT2500-based card, an Asus WL-107G, for my lapttop -- it only cost $30, it supports b and g, and Ralink gives excellent support for FLOSS. There is active work to improve the driver further, too. No doubt there are others, but basing your purchasing decision on "what is supported" is usually a good plan when you can do it!
