I just got my TP-Link TL-WN651G wireless card, popped it in the computer, and it Just Worked. (Ubuntu Karmic, 9.10).
It uses the Atheros chipset (Atheros AR5001X+), and Ubuntu figures it right out, with the ath5k wireless driver.
So if you're looking for an inexpensive PCI wireless card that you can use on Linux without using a binary blob and ndiswrapper, this is a good choice!
Hooray :)

That's great to hear! I've been thinking of getting one myself. Are you using a 64-bit distro?
This is on a 32-bit machine (an older pentium 4), but I'd be pretty surprised if it didn't work on 64-bit too.
Thanks for commenting :)
