Need b/g Cardbus recommendations

I require a card that has the following features: - b/g - latest security standards (WPA-AES I guess) - good Windows and Linux support (I suppose this limits choices to Prism chipsets primarily) and no problems with common apps like Netstumbler - external antenna connector (MC or whatever) I've already spent hours searching for such a card. Can't find even one that supports all requirements. Compex is close but apparently only has WEP. Proxim is also close but Linux support is weak.

check sourceforge.net and then buy one suitable for nix. winblows will
of course work.. most of the G cards are hard but can be got working .
I use deb on the lappy with a dwl 650+ dlink which is a tough choice
for nix but when working is good . ( not for the novice)

you might need this if you decide not to use a common card.

Netgear WG511T...Awesome card with long range and supports WEP (64 and
128bit), WPA (radius) and WPA-PSK (both TKIP & AES). Works with various
routers and APs from various vendors.
