Right now the only wireless chipset I'd recommend is Intel's. Even Atheros, which has an entire project (well, two: FreeBSD has its own project) dedicated to developing open-source drivers, has had communication problems in the past, with apparently only one developer having NDA access to documentations.
The 802.11 a/b/g/n chip found in the Core 2 Macbooks (and Pro) and the T/Z 60 Lenovo Thinkpads, for example, only started working with the trunk development version of Atheros last month, IIRC. Half a year or so after the hardware is out.
