So here it is the card I chose to buy: a Zoom Air 4100, it's a prismII based card that is
supported by the wlan-ng prism2_cs module.Mandrake 8.1 and Debian woody don't respond to it because i don't have installed the PCMCIA package but in Suse 7.3 and during Mandrake 8.2 install the card is detected but with the not so complete wvlan_cs module. After that i have to try these nice packages:
airsnort
kismet
wellenreiter
Drive safely.

In Mandrake 8.2 the default kernel comes with prism2 pci plx and usb already compile in 3rdparty kernel modules but to use my Zoom Air 4100 i have to do the following:
get pcmcia-cs-3.1.33
get wlan-ng 1.1.13
compiled pcmcia-cs doing make config and then make all
compiled wlan-ng doing make config and make all and then make install
now in dmesg wlan0 shows up.
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2 works ok.
