Unless you have some way to identify the chipset in use by a given
card, this is basically impossible.  Vendors are notorious for selling
vastly different hardware under the exact same name and model number.
And in some cases (e.g. Atheros chipsets) even knowing the PCI ID of
the card is insufficient to determine whether or not it is supported.

At least now you have a much better shot at getting lucky with any
given purchase than you did even a year ago.  So, buy from a reputable
retailer and be familiar with their return policy just in case...sorry!

Good luck!
