You said you wanted "a gNewSense
compatible wifi card."  To me, that implies a card that works with free 
drivers included or compatible with gNewSense.  But Peter just suggested 
using proprietary drivers through ndiswrapper.  If you're willing to use 
proprietary drivers, almost any card should work with GNU/Linux.
