It's much easier to start with a Google search for what wireless cards work OOTB and then shop accordingly. Besides I don't agree that it's difficult to figure out given a device whether it works with Linux, Google should be able to tell you this (as long as you avoid bleeding edge just-came-out-last-week devices which is a good idea anyway).
