I like the Intel 2200 b/g and Intel 2915 a/b/g for mini-PCI if your 
notebooks support that

The drivers are open source and well-maintained, and they've got monitor 
mode enabled in the firmware now (so kismet and friends work ;-). The 
cards are quite cheap too - I think I paid $20 each for an order of 2200s.
