rekta,

I purchased a Gigabyte GN-WI01GT (Atheros AR5006EGS chip inside) that works great out of the box. As you noted there are some other cards (for example the Dell 1390 and Apple AirPort AR5006EXS) that will also work nicely in Leopard.

According to the specs (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...ProductID=2215) the Gigabyte supports WPA2. It also works fine in Windows (I'm using VirtualBox/Win XP, but it also works fine in a dual-booted Vista configuration.). I'm fairly sure I tested it with a Live Ubuntu CD when I had to do some data recovery as well.

My only concern with the Apple card, is that it will be used off of ebay. So you wouldn't be able to get (for example) a Square Trade warranty (www.squaretrade.com/).

I think I got the Gigabyte for around $30.
