Yes it's harder if you start from a selection of hardware and then ask
"OK what here works?".  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).
