Check around for any Lucent WaveLAN cards (preferrably the Gold version). Almost the exact same card as the original AirPort cards, and it can use the Apple drivers, too.

Could be listed as Lucent, WaveLAN, or Orinoco.

I've also used the Cabletron and Cisco cards with great success.

Were you able to get a Cabletron card to work in OS X? Did you need to download software to do this?

The RoamAbout uses the same chipset as the Lucent/Orinon card. It should work with those drivers.
