Laptop wireless card compatible list

[everypot]

Is there any Laptop wireless card compatible list for freebsd? And which wireless cards are best supported by FreeBSD?

I'm really frustrated by the BCM4315 card on my netbook. I have to either drop give up BSD or replace the card with a well supported one....

Any suggestion(modern and available in the market)? There are too many of them.

I've used Edimax EW-7108PCg without problem. I know that cards with Atheros chip are well supported, but I haven't used any.

Thanks. Unfortunately my netbook doesn't have a PC Card slot. I need an internal mini wifi card.

Anyone know if these mini cards are supported?
Atheros AR5006EXS
Atheros 5008
Atheros AR5007EG

According to the Atheros web page, these are:

AR5006: 5424 chipset
AR5008: 5416 chipset
AR5007: 5424/2424 chipset

The last one is in my Aspire One (I think, haven't opened it), and it works on 8-STABLE. ath(4) shows the other two should also work, although no 802.11n on the AR5008 (yet?).

The 5006 and 5007 might work on 7-STABLE.

Thanks a lot. I have just made my BCM4315 work using ndis driver(http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=40490#post40490). No need to buy a new card!
