PCI wireless recommendation

I want to hook my desktop Linux box into an existing wireless network
that is based on an SMC Router/Access point. Works fine with various
Windows machines. 802.11g, 22 Mbps.

So I need a PCI wireless card, preferably one supported by Unbuntu,
but downloading and compiling a driver is not a problem. Anyone got
recommendations?

Complication: I'm living in China. Dlink and Linksys are readily
available and there are some SMC or Netgear devices on the
shelves. I have seen no other brands.

Suggest you look for something with Atheros chipset - it seems to be the
least bother to set up.
