A Netgear WAG511 Cardbus card works fine here with Kismet and the madwifi
driver from Sourceforge (no idea about Stumbles).

It lacks an external antenna connector (it's a 802.11a/b/g card).
All other Atheros-based cards should do as well, check the madwifi
driver source for references.

If 802.11b is sufficient, there are still a few Prism2 based PCCards
around, check the lwlan-ng homepage for a device table.

If you're looking for USB devices, there were some Prism2 based sold in
2002/2003 (haven't seen any in the shops), but I've never got them working
in my desktop due to USB problems.

Sveasoft is currently porting a Kismet drone to the Linksys WRT54G, which
is a 802.11g WLAN router running Linux. No idea when this will be ready
(but you may do it yourself, as the tools and sources are available).

HTH.

What are your thesis about?
