So maybe a lesson learned about Linux, stuff exists, you just have to find it first - then buy it. I bought the Panda PAU09 because the driver for the chip in this wifi adapter is included in the kernel no downloads, no compile from source, no dragging a cable from your Linux box to the router that may be on the other side of the house. Here's a decent explanation of what's going on and a few recommendations.

In almost every case, a wifi card supported in Linux will be supported in Windows, also. The best thing to do is research first, then buy.

So a "better" wifi card doesn't guarantee Linux compatibility. Linux wifi drivers are getting better and more importantly there are drivers for more wifi chips coming along all the time.
