What distribution are you using?

With the Prism2 cards it "just worked".

With the Atheros chipset, I had to build the MadWifi drivers. (It takes
a bit of black magic to get these to work on the AMD64, but easy once
you know how.)

What features do you need? Do you need to run apps like Kismet or
airsnort?  Do you need 802.11g or 802.11a?
