Wireless and Linux

I am building my PC.
I want it wireless…well for our wireless network at home.
Yes, the router does support about 4 wired connections but it’s running those cables…I don’t want to.
So, I need to find a wireless card that works easily with Ubuntu.

When, I put Linux (Ubuntu, Mepis, Knoppix) in our old Compaq with a PCMCIA card (D-Link DWL-G650) worked pretty much out of the box. I didn’t have to do any evil ndiswrapper. I didn’t even know about any madwifi or prism whatever. Why can’t I get a PCI card that’ll work so easily? If only I knew then how lucky I was…or maybe I’ll get one and it *will* work out of the box. I just wish someone would tell me which one :(
