Here's what I did recently, since you never know what the store has...
1) Grab every wireless card in the computer store that you think will work
2) Bring all of them to the guy at the counter, like at CompUSA
3) Ask him to Google every model number and revision (+ your distro
release) to see if it is compatible.
4) Leave store with product
5) Install and verify
6) Smile
