Thats depended on the kernel, and on the chipset manufacturers.
Kernels <= 2.6.11 has fairly good support for Wireless cards.
Hermes cards are also supported by the kernel included drivers, albeit without RF-mon support. You need to patch and compile for that.
Atheros cards using the Madwifi drivers are pretty stable and full featured. Same goes for Prism54 FullMAC cards. Less so for Prism54 SoftMac cards.
RT 2400 + RT 2500 based cards also has good support, and a fairly stable driver.
Same goes for Centrino IPW 2100 and IPW 2200 cards.
But again, it all comes down to what you want to do. If standard net connectivity is all you desire, even a Broadcom card is usable, either with the NDISWrapper package, or by way of the experimental reverse engineered BCM34xx driver.
If you want to do other things, see Thorn's post and start researching. Mr. Google knows the answer, if you are a Jeopardy grandmaster and knows the question.
