About two years ago I did.  I've worked mostly with Lucent and D-Link
cards.  Lucent (at that time anyway) was the best - D-Link worked, was
a little fineky, but you couldn't beat the price.

Can't tell you from direct expierence, but I've always liked Linksys. 
However, I think I would stay away from Cisco (if they even have a card
for Linux).
