My recommendation for what's currently on the market is the Microsoft
MN-520.  It's the only pcmcia card I've found that's also prism2.5.

Watch out.  I banged my head into a brick wall w/some of the newer
prism3 cards--specifically the D-Link 650.  The newest ones are indeed
prism3.  Unfortunately, they won't work b/c they upload the code via
serial eeprom (which FreeBSD currently doesn't support).
