You will do well with any card that is based on the PRISM2 chip set.
To see a list of cards that support the Prism2 silicon, see the wi(4) 
man page. As it happens, your choice of the Netgear ma401 is a prism2 
card, and supports the ability to become an AP, and has a jack for an 
external antenna.

Avoid the Lucent cards like plauge. They are of major suck.
