Good Wireless Cards for Mac and PC?

I'm looking for a good PCI wireless card that'll work for both a Mac and PC. I'm not sure if a wireless card is a wireless card, or if there are some that are better or worse. I'll need drivers for both a Mac and XP though - it'll go in my G4 first, and after I get a Mac Mini or something it'll replace an adapter in my PC. Any suggestions?

Here are a couple of cards that'll work in OS X and XP.

If you find a PC card that you like better than those above, you might be able to use OrangeWare drivers to make it work under OS X.

Oops, I should've been more clear (I was talking about 802.11). I wound up ordering one of the Newer cards off the deals section of xlr8yourmac.com. It linked me to the same page that Drew posted, so I think I came out pretty well. Thanks!
