I want to buy one that is known to work with 9.04. It doesn't have to be fast but I do have an AirPort Express wireless-N router that also can do G.

Re: PCI Wifi card recommendation for my AMD desktop PC
I have a similar thread that hasn't seen a definitive recommendation, if you require WPA2. If you are fine with WEP or open, you are probably ok with nearly anything...

Note that someone does recommend a USB option...

Re: PCI Wifi card recommendation for my AMD desktop PC
I can recommend two that I have had good luck with:
1. The D-Link WDA-1320 PCI adapter works out of the box, and even includes a low profile bracket if you happen to have a low profile case.
It uses the Atheros chipset.
2. The Alfa AWUS036H 500mw USB adapter also works out of the box. This is the best for all around use. Uses the RTL8187 chipset. high
power for extended range and good sensitivity.AMD Athlon 64 4800x2 ; Biostar Tforce 550 ; 2gb ; dual-boot Kubuntu 8.04 & Kubuntu 9.04; Dual-boot XP & Vista.

Edit: According to Newegg, only WPA is possible... which is fine for this thread, but not my "needs". Thanks again.
