Are there any wireless cards sold in South-Africa, which are readily available and which works perfectly in Linux, supporting encryption and all the possible features the windows drivers support? I run Ubuntu Linux AMD 64bit.

I want the ability to capture raw packets and the whole war driving thing. Not because I want to do war driving, but because I like using hardware I have purchased to its full capabilities and more. War driving abilities will help to debug problems on the WAN also.

Please rate the cards based on merits, like a detachable antenna, wireless standards supported, MIMO and such. I want to join a wireless network but I might be local away too far physically. So distance covered is also important.
 
You can try any wireless card that is based on the atheros chipset. Like some dlink card, but not the + cards.
 
In case u get stuck with getting thje W-Card going take a look at Ndiswrapper, this uses your Windows Driver under Linux.
