Yep, I posted a similar question a number of months back ;)

I ended up going with the Netgear WG311T (PCI):

http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility/Netgear#WG311T

As the link above says, Madwifi support is good and encryption works
out of the box. There was no trouble getting it working with Ubuntu
(gutsy), after enabling the restricted modules*

*Note: While it seems the madwifi drivers are open source, they do
have a dependency on a proprietary hardware abstraction layer - hence
the restricted modules classification.
