I recently bought a Gateway WBM-120; I got it for $10 on eBay.  It's a
rebranded GemTek card, which uses a Prism chipset and works fine on FC3
after adding the card IDs to the PCMCIA config (see http://nakedape.cc/wiki
for full details).

That said, I'm told the Lucent Golds are on sale at Fry's for about $25.
