I think it is this
http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_34&products_id=126
I got a recommendation from this mailing list in November.

It says this on the email netgate sent me
1 x 5004 MP Atheros 4G / CM9: 802.11a/b/g miniPCI Card (5004 MP
ATHEROS 4G) = $40.00

lspci -l says
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.
AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Wistron NeWeb Corp. CM9 Wireless a/b/g MiniPCI Adapter
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11
        Memory at d0200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

I'm running ubuntu 7.10 with network manager managing wifi.  It works
almost everywhere very reliably.  At the iinet colocation facility it
doesn't work at all when people with windows, and MacOS have no
problem.  At Red, and Black it works, but with weird wonkyness.

The next time I am at Red, and Black I can give you more details about
behavior.
