I use SMC's 802.11b high powered device: 
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?sec=About-SMC&pg=Press-Release-Details&pr_id=113&site=c

I did have to modify /etc/pcmcia/config and put the card's id in it. I
just copied a similar wireless card that used the orinco driver and the
id came from tail /var/log/messages when pluging in the card. Once the
card is recognized then I used the network gui configuration thingy to
get it to do DHCP.

I'm using Fedora Core 2 at the moment but I've done this with Redhat 9
and Fedora Core 1.

Note: You do not need to match this with a high powered wireless hub.
