The vendors do not need to distribute drivers since most cards have chipsets
already supported by Linux.
Just about any 802.11b card will work fine. 802.11g cards will require you
to download the 802.11g drivers for some Linux distributions (but I believe
in something like Mandrake 10, they are already there).
I wouldn't expect a vendor to supply a driver unless they used a strange
chipset not already supported.
